Keyword Centrality analysis with Wittgenstein's Conversation on Freud

Abstract

During the Project “Lectures on Aesthetics Contextualized” (FWF P21038) we have marked each keyword in every paragraph in Conversations on Freud, a chapter in Wittgenstein's Lectures and Conversation on Aesthetics, Psychology and Religious Belief. According to the relationship between keywords and sense units we have created a graph in which the nodes are keywords and lines are the co-location of two keywords in one sense unit. We then applied three different kinds of centrality-analysis on this graph. Results of centrality analysis are then compared to the usual interpretation of the text.
