The theory of cultural life proposed by Baciu 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 (Key article: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biosystems.2020.104208) predicted the existence of variation-selection processes that emerge (1) on the time axis and (2) through selective institutional support. This present interactive visual shows empirical data to test these predictions as described in the key article. Select “TimeD” for the time axis and "PubD” for publishers. The corpora under consideration consist of news that mentions the terms “humanities” for TimeD...

Cultural life renews itself unevenly, which gives rise to regional varieties and to diversification in geographical space. The theory of cultural life proposed by Baciu 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 (Key article: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biosystems.2020.104208) predicted the existence of such geographical diversification, and it helped develop methods to study it. In this present interactive visual, each map represents a distinct unit of evolutionary selection as estimated through these methods and as described in the key article. The corpus...
