One of the most influential voices predicting new venues for digital humanities is Matthew L. Jockers. A list of his books provides a clear compass of Jockers'research interests: Macroanalysis: Digital Methods and Literary History (2013), Text Analysis with R for Students of Literature (2014), and Anatomy of the Blockbuster Novel (2016) . Essentially, in Macroanalysis, Jockers argues that literary studies, in order to be relevant in the 21st century, must adopt a more scientific/computational approach: “Like it or not, today’s literary-historical scholar can no longer risk being just a close reader; the sheer quantity of available data makes the traditional practice of close reading untenable as an exhaustive or definitive method of evidence gathering. Something important will inevitably be missed”(9) .  \nMost helpful in understanding the mechanics introduced in Macroanalysis is a website that Jockers maintains, [www.matthewjockers.net](www.matthewjockers.net), in which he provides an ongoing dialogue of wide-ranging literary analyses using the statistical method explained in Text Analysis with R for Students of Literature. This website allows other researchers to share the results of their work  \nusing Jockers’ digital approach. The program “R”(derived from a social science algorithm) enables literary researchers to “mine” hundreds or thousands of texts using an algorithm that searches for specific words, phrases, or precisely defined structures. With compelling effectiveness,“R” enables researchers to gather information more quickly and thoroughly to create graphs based on such statistical products as word indexing, frequency lists, text-analysis comparison, stylistic analysis, and textual dating. Summarizing the underlying benefit of computational literary analysis, Jockers points out,“The approaches outlined in this book also have the potential to present contradictory evidence, evidence that challenges our traditional, impressionistic, or anecdotal theories”(Text Analysis viii) .  \nWhile Jockers’ method can generate almost limitless approaches to academic analysis of texts, he has also proven that his statistical technique has a more marketable application. For a short period, in association with Jodie Archer, Jockers formed a consultancy agency to “help writers, agents and publishers find the next books that everyone will love”([www.archerjockers.com](www.archerjockers.com)). In their agency’s website, they claimed to “analyze over 3000 data points” using their “advanced proprietary methods.” These methods allow the agency “to predict bestsellers 80% of the time”(The Writer Files). It’s interesting to speculate why this service was discontinued after a relatively short time. One can imagine Jockers and Archer receiving hundreds of manuscripts each month and having to deal with disappointed authors who have been told by an algorithm that their novels lack any possibility of becoming a blockbuster. It’s bad enough to have a writer’s workshop group tell you your manuscript lacks mass appeal, but how does a disappointed author respond to the disapproval of a computer who prints out three  \nthousand reasons why your novel is a flop and provides a detailed graph emphasizing the faultsin your writing?  \nWhy Privilege a Visual Approach to Literary Discussion?  \nFrom a teacher’s point of view, the most attractive aspects of macroanalysis are the detailed graphs generated by the “R” program. Any analytical approach which provides visual aids in explaining and prompting discussions about the often abstract and elusive elements th","cbCairSJXttV0HIK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairSJXttV0HIK","pdf",739888,55,"English","# Using Sentiment Analysis to Ease Students toward or around Macroanalysis\n## Macroanalysis and computational approaches\n## Mining texts with R and statistical evidence\n## Market applications and ethical concerns\n## Privileging a visual approach to literary discussion\n## Visual epistemology and Graphesis","[{\"question\":\"What core idea does Jockers present in Macroanalysis?\",\"answer\":\"Jockers argues that literary studies must adopt a more scientific or computational approach because the quantity of available data makes traditional close reading inadequate as a complete method of evidence gathering.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the “R” program support macroanalysis-style research?\",\"answer\":\"“R” helps researchers mine hundreds or thousands of texts by searching for specific words, phrases, or structures, then producing graphs and statistics such as word indexing, frequency lists, comparisons, stylistic analysis, and textual dating.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the text emphasize visual methods for classroom discussion?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights that detailed graphs and diagrammatic analysis can clarify abstract literary elements and prompt discussion.
