Network Analysis + Digital Art History. A Roundtable on a Collective Scholarly Experience

FULL PDF

Abstract

In this multi-authored essay, thirteen participants in the 2019-2022 Getty Advanced Workshop on Network Analysis + Digital Art History (NA+DAH) discuss their experiences learning and working together at the intersection of these two fields of inquiry. The piece begins with a preface offering background on the workshop, continues with a series of “project biographies” for the NA+DAH teams participating in this roundtable, and then proceeds to the teams’ reflections on a series of probing questions crafted by the participants themselves. The authors reflect on what the NA+DAH Workshop has meant for their scholarship and their community-building efforts, hoping that these insights, acquired over years of productive discussion, can serve as a foundation of knowledge for other scholars who are interested in bringing these areas of study together in their research and teaching.
