Graphics in Sociological Analysis
Based on data analysis and argumentations, graphics are able to represent insights on the meta level. Through the visualization of cultural patterns in the distribution of views, they may generate a more immediate understanding of sociological phenomena than written words could do. Subsequently, by means of the qualities of graphics by showing e.g. similarity and distinction, core and periphery, graphics contribute to a fruitful dialectical relationship by providing possible future insights to lines of reasoning about processes and transformations.
