Data Visualization In Classical Theater. The Gondomar Collection As a Test Field

subject

description

This paper analyses thirty-six plays belonging to the theatrical collection of Diego Sarmiento de Acuna, First Count of Gondomar. The aim is twofold. On the one hand, I intend to assess whether or not the visualization may be a useful and operational tool to apply to research on classical Spanish theatre in order to explore the structure of texts and determine the cross-genre relationship between variables. On the other hand, the article aims to assess the usefulness of those variables, which are linked to the structural configuration in turns characteristic of the dramatic text. In addition, the correlation between character(s) and text will be studied, as manifested in the identification of compositional patterns in different playwrights.
