Abstract

This is a submission to the 3rd Annual Social Informatics SIG Symposium: The Social Web, Social Computing and the Social Analysis of Computing. This paper describes the use of multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) for data exploration as part of a recently completed study of the use of information technology (IT) by literary authors. The study discussed in this paper constitutes part of an ongoing effort to establish Literature and Art Informatics (LAI), the interdisciplinary study of the design, uses and consequences of information technologies that takes into account their role in the creative efforts of writers and artists. This paper is primarily methodological in nature.
