Socio-spatial visualisations of cultural routes
Cultural routes, defined as routes of historical importance that geographically represent the shared and living cultural heritage of different countries, have recently gained attention both as tourist destinations and as social repositories of collective local memories. In this paper we argue that t...

Les itinéraires culturels, définis comme des voies d’importance historique qui représentent géographiquement un patrimoine culturel vivant et partagé entre plusieurs pays, des figures ou des phénomènes, ont récemment suscité une nouvelle attention à la fois comme destinations touristiques et comme dépositoires de mémoires collectives locales. Cet article vise à montrer que le développement récent des humanités numériques peut ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives intéressantes pour l’investigation empirique de cet objet culturel. En effet, la disponibilité sur le Web de nouvelles traces numériques générées par les activités humaines et la disponibilité conséquente d’outils puissants qui facilitent l’exploration de ces traces ont permis aux chercheurs de créer de nouveaux types de travail de terrain en ligne. Le texte présente une étude de cas concernant la Via Francigena. Nous avons intégré un module géographique à un outil pour l’analyse de graphes (histograph), pour pouvoir explorer un corpus de plus de 8000 Instagram images. Nous étudions la valeur de prototype de cet outil pour analyser les relations socio-spatiales liées à l’itinéraire et faire des hypothèses sur les mémoires collectives que la route transmet. |

Cultural routes, defined as routes of historical importance that geographically represent the shared and living cultural heritage of different countries, have recently gained attention both as tourist destinations and as social repositories of collective local memories. In this paper we argue that the recent development of digital humanities can open interesting new perspectives for the empirical exploration of these routes as cultural objects. Indeed, the availability of new digital traces generated by human activities and social media combined with tools that facilitate the exploration of such traces allow researchers to create new types of fieldwork online. In this paper, we present a case study focused on the Via Francigena cultural route. We added a geographical component to a graph analysis tool called histograph, making it possible to explore and analyse a corpus of more than 8,000 Instagram pictures. We investigate the potential of the prototype to uncover socio-spatial relations related to the itinerary and to hypothesise about the collective memories that the route conveys in this corpus. |
