| Abstract | The purpose of this round table discussion is to discuss the need for a properly historical network analysis. The main question will therefore be: are the tools developed for other disciplines, and in particular for other types of data, necessarily suitable for the study of historical dossiers? Is a 'one size fits all' approach appropriate, or should existing tools be developed, adapted, or particularised? Another similar question submitted to the participants concerns the particular nature of medieval sources. Participants include Sébastien de Valeriola (Université Libre de Bruxelles), Robert Gramsch-Stehfest (Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena), Isabelle Rosé (Université Rennes 2), and Nicolas Ruffini-Ronzani (Université de Namur / Archives de l’Etat de Namur). |
