Digital Social Reading
How digital social reading apps are powerfully changing—and nurturing—the way we read. Conventional wisdom would have us believe that digital technology is a threat to reading, but in Digital Social Reading, Federico Pianzola argues that reading socially through digital media can help people grow a passion for reading and, in some cases, even enhance text comprehension. Digital social reading (DSR) is a term that encompasses a wide variety of pra…
The Golem Ontology for Narrative and Fiction
This paper introduces the GOLEM ontology, a novel framework designed to provide a structured and computationally tractable representation of narrative and fictional elements. Addressing limitations in existing ontologies regarding the integration of fictional entities and diverse narrative theories, our model extends CIDOC CRM and LRMoo and leverages DOLCE’s cognitive foundations to provide a flexible and interoperable framework. The ontology cap…
An empirical study of visitors' engagement with a museum robot guide and a mobile audio guide
This study examines visitor experiences with digital services at The Lee Kun-hee Collection: Masterpieces of Korean Art held at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) in Seoul. Focusing on the use of the mobile app and curating-bot, it investigates their respective impacts on visitors' immersion and satisfaction with the exhibition. Adopting a quantitative methodology, the study analyzed responses from 1,705 participants. Results indica…
Dynamical systems, literary theory, and the computational modelling of narrative
Narrative can be conceptualised as a complex system, with pragmatic benefits for our description of interpretative and affective processes involved in reading. In this article, I show how systemic thinking has shaped many literary theories, and I offer some suggestions about the modelling of narrative as a complex system. Considering the relations between text, reader, and reading situation as constitutive of narrative requires a way of looking a…
Visual content analysis of visitors' engagement with an instagrammable exhibition
This study aims to show how a museum exhibition designed to encourage visitors to take pictures can affect visitors’ behavior. We analyzed visitors’ engagement with the Yumi's Cell Special Exhibition (hereafter Yumi) held in South Korea, employing computer vision for the analysis of visitors’ Instagram pictures. Our research questions are: What types of pictures do visitors post on Instagram during or after their visit? And can Yumi’s instagramma…
Digital Social Reading
It is 2021, the major social media have been around for more than a decade, increasingly being used for reading-related activities, like organizing one’s own virtual bookshelf, discussing novels, and reading book reviews. Still, there is no publication that tried to organize the precious knowledge generated by research about digital social reading (DSR), which is scattered among dozens of volumes, journal articles, and blog posts, intersecting ma…
Modeling Literary Criticism
How would you replicate Eric Auerbach's masterful critical readings of Western literature? How to teach students effectively and in detail what steps to follow in analyzing a literary text? Is it possible to teach a computer to perform a thematic critical reading of a novel or short story? Dan Shen does not address these questions explicitly, but the methodology she uses to develop a theory of dual narrative dynamics invites us to explore them. I…
Analyzing the Museum Experience Through the Lens of Instagram Posts
The purpose of this study is to examine visitors’ Instagram posts through a combination of quantitative methods to cast light on museum experiences. To analyze a large quantity of Instagram data, we used computer vision and semantic analysis. The results of hashtag analysis showed that informative hashtags were the most prominent for all museums. It is notable that the geo‐related hashtags, such as exhibition venue and local information, accounte…
