this was always true--academics rose AFTR the archive, or at best in collaboration with
First, topics lack an interpretation apart from the probabilistic model in use. Articles may be compared in terms of their topics— one such measurement is called the Kullbeck- Leibler divergence— but this metric suffers from problems of interpretation
ya think?
Herbert Marcuse’s “The Failure of the New Left” numbers among the articles most strongly associated with this topic. None of the words comes as a surprise to those familiar with the journal. Its publisher describes the journal as having “played a significant role in introducing US readers to Frankfurt School thinkers.”26
Now I think this is just like Google Ngram viewer. Sir you are not making this clear to me.
and as he says, everybody already knew this about new german critique
In a limited sense, the data— here, the corpus— can “speak for itself.”
hmmm
Another objection to the vector space model is that readers often do not care about individual words per se; rather, they are interested in groups of related words.
ok
After OCR, JSTOR discards word order, makes all words lowercase, and removes all numbers (fig. 3.2).11 Discarding word order means there is no way anyone can reconstruct the original review. Since all articles published after 1924 are “protected” by US copyright law, it is this fea-ture that shields JSTOR from liability and facilitates public access to the DFR service.
thus forcing a new kid of reading on us, just as other scarcities imposed a different form of reading

I love how he manages "coherent set of beliefs" to disguise the fact that the previous system was no less contingent than the present. If we had a coherent set of beliefs for wikimedia searching, would it be ok?
we are going to need to just bypass these assholes, and found our own journals, sooner or later
yep
yea this is what CHNM was founded for
Moreover, these texts are all unencumbered by copyright in the United States.
not quite clear this is true
An additional complication is the fact that the number of topics in a model is arbitrary. I
yes good

bastards
Used in this way, the geospatial web can capture “the confluence of multiple rhythms” that Henri Lefebvre argued make up everyday life, offering a new perspective on what it was like to live in Harlem
I remain gently skeptical and i think that the traditional place of maps in historical scholarship is probably the correct one, but I'm open to being persuaded I'm worng
Within Harlem, while Morgan Thompson and his family lived at the same address on West 144th Street for over a decade, many black families regularly relocated. Perry Brown, a forty-five-year-old on probation for stealing coats to pay for his wife’s medical care, relocated five times in three years, not simply to get better housing, but sometimes to get rooms to lease to boarders, to obtain premises easier for his wife to maintain, or when he could not pay the rent.
so this is the important thing, not the map of this
Maps of their lives highlight the distance they had to travel to work and how often many changed their residence.
this is the kind of language arguments for maps always resort to, but this is exactly what text does--it "highlights." You could argue that highlighting in fact emerges from text and is the application of a text function to maps, and you could also argue that a text with highlights is a map, and I'd agree, and say again both are metadata, just as the original text is, and your map is not helping me by adding a second third layer of metadata, e.g text--highlighted text--map.
the maps created on the site raise questions rather than answering them, and they could not simply stand on their own online.
This is where I tend t be irked by mapping projects: they are generally another layer of metadata on top of the layer of metadata that is language itself. You always need language to make the meaning of maps jump out: i often find they get in the way as much as they help, in EXACTLY the same way as metadata
I say that, if this war is to be forgotten, I ask, in the name of all things sacred, what shall men remember?
this line is extraordinary. If you don't remember that this was a conflict over slavery, what good is memory? How is memory different from fantasy?
