Descripción

• The application of information visualisation techniques to quantitative citation analysis in scientific documents has proved very useful in revealing hidden structures and research trends in several disciplines. A similar approach is proposed in the field of Film Studies based on the concept of «filmic citation», understood as an allusion to a different audiovisual text that blends seamlessly into the flow of the cinematographic narrative. Thus, this technique allows the detection of patterns of influence between audiovisual texts. A visual representation of the co–citation data for Classic Hollywood films extracted from the IMDb database illustrates the utility of this technique for Film Studies and, particularly, Film Genre Studies.
