details of the presentation:
title: LEARNING FROM GOOGLE: A SEARCH ENGINE AS A METHOD FOR CULTURAL ANALYSIS
abstract: Can we translate the principles of search engine algorithms and large scale data analysis in general into a new methodology for cultural theory? In my talk I will discuss what such a methodology would look like, and also demonstrate practical examples drawn from Cultural Analytics research conducted in the Software Studies Lab at the University of California, San Diego.
