TL;DR: Moretti as mentioned in this paper explored the fictionalization of geography in the nineteenth-century novel and found that space may well be the secret protagonist of cultural history, in a series of one hundred maps, alongside Spanish picaresque novels, African colonial romances and Russian novels of ideas.
Abstract: In a series of one hundred maps, Franco Moretti explores the fictionalization of geography in the nineteenth-century novel. Balzac's Paris, Dickens's London and Scott's Scottish Lowlands are mapped, alongside the territories of Spanish picaresque novels, African colonial romances and Russian novels of ideas, in a path-breaking study which suggests that space may well be the secret protagonist of cultural history.

Abstract: This article examines the ways in which a group of London webloggers or on-line journal keepers constitute their city. They claim that their strategies for knowing London are derived from techniques for knowing the Internet. In particular, webloggers adapt the activity and culture of on-line surfing. The article investigates the method of ‘blogging’ alongside and against the interpretative strategies deployed by urban theorists and sketch writers. It is intended as a contribution to urban anthropology, anthropology of the Internet, the anthropology of knowledge, and the ethnography of London.

25 Nov 2010TL;DR: This review concludes Glossary of the novel, Don Quixote, which aims to explain why the novel matters and what can be done to improve the quality of the manuscript.
Abstract: Beginning its life as the sensational entertainment of the eighteenth century, the novel has become the major literary genre of modern times. Drawing on hundreds of examples of famous novels from all over the world, Marina MacKay explores the essential aspects of the novel and its history: where novels came from and why we read them; how we think about their styles and techniques, their people, plots, places, and politics. Between the main chapters are longer readings of individual works, from Don Quixote to Midnight's Children. A glossary of key terms and a guide to further reading are included, making this an ideal accompaniment to introductory courses on the novel.

TL;DR: These networks present an overview of the “who’, “what”, and “where” in large text corpora, visualizing associations between people and places.
Abstract: We describe a method to automatically extract social networks from literary texts. Similar to those in prior research, nodes represent characters found in the texts; edges connect them to other characters with whom they interact, and also display sentences describing their interactions. Furthermore, other nodes encode places and are connected to characters who were active there. Thus, these networks present an overview of the “who”, “what”, and “where” in large text corpora, visualizing associations between people and places.
