信息可视化(信息图表)长期以来一直是知识生产的一部分,尽管数字媒体的兴起带来了其数量和用于政治目的的显着扩张。这篇文章提供了第一个概述和类型学的新兴体裁,我们称之为数字政治信息图。通过了解有关可视化、政治说服、界面和数字共享的文献和理论,我们旨在揭示这种表达形式所特有的数据政治。一个接地的分析200个政治导向的信息图表在Twitter上产生了一个二维的类型学的叙事策略和界面支撑用户的参与数据在这种话语格式。综合评价显示,数字政治信息图是混合的沟通形式,其特征在于政治说服,信息图惯例和数字环境之间的三个影响轨迹:政治化的信息图特征,信息图的政治策略,并创造一个新的共同点,具有修辞的触觉数据经验。
Information visualizations (infographics) have long been part of the production of knowledge, although the rise of digital media brought about a significant expansion in both their volume and their use for political purposes. This article provides a first overview and typology of the emergent genre we term digital political infographics. Informed by literature and theory about visualizations, political persuasion, interfaces, and digital sharing, we aimed to reveal the data-politics unique to this expression form. A grounded analysis of 200 politically oriented infographics on Twitter yielded a two-dimensional typology relating to the narrative strategies and the interfaces underpinning users' engagement with data in this discursive format. An integrative evaluation revealed that digital political infographics are hybrid communicative forms, characterized by three influence trajectories between political persuasion, infographic conventions, and digital environments: politicizing infographic traits, infographing political tactics, and creating a new common ground, featuring a rhetoric of tactile data experience.
