    Critical InfoVis: Exploring the Politics of Visualization
    (ACM, 2013-04-27) Dörk, Marian; Feng, Patrick; Collins, Christopher; Carpendale, Sheelagh
    As information visualization is increasingly used to raise awareness about social issues, difficult questions arise about the power of visualization. So far the research community has not given sufficient thought to how values and assumptions pervade information visualization. Taking engaging visualizations as a starting point, we outline a critical approach that promotes disclosure, plurality, contingency, and empowerment. Based on this approach, we pose some challenges and opportunities for visualization researchers and practitioners.
