Abstract

The study of historical networks requires to analyse the relationships between different kind of agents (physical persons and corporate bodies) and objects situated in a spatialized environment. The second session on 'People, Organisations, and Space as Network Components' will be devoted to Networks and their spaces. Contradicting the longstanding bad reputation of Aquitaine as a place for history writing, J. Bellarbre examines some of the most important historiographical works of this area and uncovers the connections that allowed their production in order to prove that Aquitanian monasteries were indeed part of the European networks of history writing at that time. Considering the interdisciplinarity and methodological evolutions in archaeo-geography, M. Watteaux explores the advances in rural history and landscape history and shows how the study of cadastral map for agricultural lands and road system uncovers the layers of entangled heritages.
