The Power of Networks describes a typology of network-based
research practices in the historical disciplines, ranging from the
use of quantitative network analysis in cultural, economic, social
or political history or religious studies, to novel approaches in
the Digital Humanities. Network data visualisations and
calculations have proven to be useful tools for the analysis of
mostly textual sources containing relational information, offering
new perspectives on complex historical phenomena. Including case
studies from antiquity to contemporary history, the book provides a
clear demonstration of the opportunities historical network
research (HNR) provides for historical studies. The examples
presented within the pages of this volume are arranged in a way to
highlight three central typological pillars of HNR:
(re-)construction and analysis of historical networks;
computational extraction of network data and infrastructures for
data collection and exploration. The Power of Networks outlines the
history and current state of research in HNR and points towards
future research frontiers in the wake of new digital technologies.
As such, the book should be essential reading for academics,
students and practitioners with an interest in digital humanities,
history, archaeology and religion.
