Presentation Transcript
The Spatiotemporal Spread of Dance Trends and Styles 2023 Spatial Social Network Workshop Christopher Dunstan, Ph.D. student North Carolina State University Center for Geospatial Analytics Advisors: Dr. Aaron Hipp & Dr. Laura Tateosian
https://on.soundcloud.com/BAszP Why study dance networks? Huffington Post
Datasets Geotagged Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok Collected with Twitter API, Brandwatch, TikTok web scraper Composed of 32,733 posts where half of the posts are geotagged
Case Study: Flexn A dance style that uses of elements of contortion and hip hop It originated in New York City
Graphing the spatial social network Nodes are the individual users (geolated) User2 Edges are mentions across social media platforms User2 mentions User1 User1
Challenges posed by the flexn dataset Interpreting the data is requires context Numerous emojis African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) frequently used 33 languages Identifying the same user across multiple platforms
Future directions Interpreting the data is requires context Using the diffusion of innovation model and bass model to determine original creators Using characteristics of a dance trend s spatial network in order to determine innovators
