From Text to Movement Neworks

Abstract

Collecting data on political networks via organizational surveys is a considerable challenge. At the same time, large volumes of texts containing information on political actors and their relations are publicly available. This panel showcases research activities, which obtain discourse, semantic, and socio-semantic networks from text data, and shows how network research might benefit from approaches that 1) use text as a database for political networks; 2) utilize various text analysis approaches to find ties between actors; or 3) combine text analysis with social networks. The panel topically focuses on analysis of socila movements.
