Sociological Technoimagination: Theory and History of Visualizations in the Social Sciences
Project goals
The research project intends to survey forms, functions, and historical transformations of visualizations (graphs, diagrams, maps, models, simulations, and animations) used in the social sciences since the early 19th century. It does not aim to produce a systematic and exhaustive account of these methods, but rather to select several crucial and illustrative moments of their development, interpret them from the point of view of history and methodology of science and situate them within a larger context of the history of modern visual culture.

Sociologická technoimaginace: teorie a dějiny vizualizací v sociálních vědách
Annotation in Czech
Výzkumný projekt mapuje formy, funkce a historické proměny vizualizací (grafů, schémat, diagramů, map, modelů, simulací a animací) užívaných v sociálních vědách od počátku 19. století do současnosti. Nesnaží se o vytvoření jejich vyčerpávajícího, systematického přehledu, nýbrž vybírá rozhodující a ilustrativní momenty jejich vývoje, interpretuje je z hlediska dějin a metodologie vědy a zasazuje do širšího rámce dějin moderní vizuální kultury.
