Gephi Tutorial Data - Mapping Topics in Philosophy Lectures by Gilles Deleuze

<p>This data accompanies a learning activity using Gephi, an open-source graphing tool, to visualize connections between topics in the work of French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. [link to activity to be added when it's available in Sept 2020]</p>

<p>French philosopher Gilles Deleuze was one of the most influential and prolific thinkers of the second half of the twentieth century. In addition to his numerous published works, Deleuze’s legacy includes hundreds of hours of audio recordings of his graduate seminars given at the University of Paris VIII, and their transcriptions, many of which are available in PURR. Each lecture in PURR was carefully indexed, in English, with tags referencing the subject matter covered and any prominent figures mentioned. The associated Gephi activity uses those tags to create a mind map of Deleuze's thinking, and provide a new avenue for insight into his work.</p>

<p>This dataset includes tag data from the five Deleuze seminars published in PURR as of 2018:</p>

<ul>
<li>Anti-Oedipus and Other Reflections (<a href="https://doi.org/10.4231/R76M352T">10.4231/R76M352T</a>)</li>
<li>Spinoza: the Velocities of Thought (<a href="https://doi.org/10.4231/R7X63K6Z">10.4231/R7X63K6Z</a>)</li>
<li>Painting and the Question of Concepts (<a href="https://doi.org/10.4231/R72V2DCJ">10.4231/R72V2DCJ</a>)</li>
<li>The Movement Image: Bergsonian Lessons on Cinema (<a href="https://doi.org/10.4231/R75B00Q2">10.4231/R75B00Q2</a>)</li>
<li>Foucault (<a href="https://doi.org/10.4231/R7SF2TFS">10.4231/R7SF2TFS</a>)</li>
</ul>

<p>There are two csv files for each seminar: nodes and edges. Nodes files contain a deduplicated list of all tags associated with the lectures in that seminar, each with a numberical ID. Edges files contain pairs of connected nodes using node IDs.</p>
