Video Introduction to the Dynamic Network Visualisations

Resource added February, 2023

This video introduces the dynamic network visualisations of the Querelle des collèges, made by Dr Gemma Tidman (Queen Mary, University of London) and Dr Marc Sarazin (University of Edinburgh).

The dynamic visualisations accompany the wider study of this quarrel, presented in my book, The Emergence of Literature in Eighteenth-Century France: The Battle of the School Books (Liverpool: Liverpool University Press, 2023).

This video flags just a few things that we can observe about the Querelle, by viewing it as a dynamic network of texts or people. The video also gives a basic explanation of how to understand these network visualisations, and how to interact with them in Figures 3 and 4 on this website.

Creators of the dynamic and static network visualisations: Marc Sarazin & Gemma Tidman
