The Ekphrastic Figure(s) in Song 5:10–16
This essay engages recent work in literary theory on the idea of ekphrasis especially in its interart dimension-the evocation of the plastic arts in literary texts -and argues that the idea is an energizing characteristic of the descriptive poem of the young man in Song 5:10-16. It surveys ancient and modern theorizations of ekphrasis, then considers the elements of statuary that characterize the description of the young man in light of material and literary culture from the ancient Near East. Finally, it offers suggestions about how this formulation bears on the reading of the poem itself.

Literary Visualities
This book challenges the focus on pictoriality as central constituent of visual culture from the perspective of literary studies, which in the wake of an 'intermedial turn' so far focused on the ways texts relate to pictures and visual media either in praesentia (e.g.word and image studies) or in absentia (e.g.ekphrasis).

Virtual Vision vs. Actual Show: Strategies of Visualization in the Book of Ezekiel
This paper addresses different ways of handling and manipulating visuality as displayed by the book of Ezekiel in reports on 'Vision' (especially chs. 1,10) and so-called 'sign acts' (especially chs. 4-5). In the central part, I summarize and update my previous studies, which followed a strictly historical-critical approach combining biblical exegesis with iconography and other ancient Near Eastern background materials. The introduction and conclusion address more theory-driven questions related to visuality, gaze, and visual culture. It is argued that ancient texts may reflect the particular visual environments in which they were authored or transmitted, and that the texts under review here display distinct visual culture backgrounds (roughly: Babylonian, Levantine, Egyptian), which may inform us on different locations of both authors/redactors and audiences; that ancient scribes may have been more or less exposed to such visual regimes, and hence their writings seem to be more or less familiar with visual features; that visualization serves different aims and strategies of communication when vision or 'sign acts' are reported; and that the reports also imply different cognitive stances (prophetic insight based on scholarly knowledge vs. persuasive performance) towards the objects of vision which they put on show before their readers' mind.

LitVis: a visual analytics approach for managing and exploring literature
Reading literature is essential to research. However, the explosive growth, the multidimensional attributes, and the complex relationships pose a tremendous challenge for researchers to understand and analyze literature efficiently. We propose LitVis, a visual analysis approach to help users manage and explore literature based on its metadata. LitVis allows users to select literature collection of interest and analyze them from their attributes, text, and citation networks. From the perspective of attribute values, LitVis supports users in understanding the distribution of literature and filtering individuals of interest. From the perspective of the text, LitVis uses the Latent Dirichlet Allocation model to extract topics from the literature and allows users to adjust the topic extraction results interactively. From the citation network perspective, LitVis enables users to analyze citation relationships within and between topics to help them understand research development. One use case and carefully designed interviews with domain experts validate the effectiveness of LitVis in the management and analysis of the literature. The results show that LitVis help users comprehensively identify the literature collection of interest and efficiently analyze the evolution of research topics.

The Future of Text and Image
The question of the relation between the visual and the textual in literature is at the heart of an increasing number of scholarly projects, and in turn, the investigation of evolving visual-verbal dynamics is becoming an independent discipline. This volume explores these profound literary shifts through the work of twelve talented, and in some cases, emerging scholars who study text and image relations in diverse forms and contexts. The inter-medial conjunctures investigated in this book pl.

History and future of business ecosystem: a bibliometric analysis and visualization
The business ecosystem theory has developed rapidly in recent years and has become a hot topic in the field of business and management. However, the use of this concept is controversial. This study systematically reviewed literature published spanning nearly three decades from 1993 to 2022. In this paper, researchers designed an improved traceability method to retrieve literature based on data sources form Web of Science. VOSviewer and CiteSpace are adopted as two scientific atlas tools for information processing and visualization to evaluate the relationship between sub fields of business ecosystem. The findings show that the four branches of business ecosystem, i.e., innovation, platform, entrepreneurship and service, absorb theoretical ideas to varying degrees. Among them, the theoretical inheritance relationship of innovation branch is most clear, and gradually grows into the backbone of ecosystem research. Major contribution of this study is reflected in three aspects: Firstly, the improved traceability method provides a repeatable quantitative description process on the basis of significantly reducing researchers’ subjective participation. Secondly, from perspective of bibliometrics, the branch direction and key nodes of theory development are identified. Thirdly, the study helps identify the future development directions of business ecosystem, including innovation, digitalization, entrepreneurship, self-organization and the strategic transformation guided by emerging technologies.
