摘要

对于历史学家来说,社交网络分析是一种越来越常见的工具,他们试图了解个人之间的相互关系。然而,一个值得关注的问题是,我们如何衡量网络内部随时间和时段之间的变化。历史学家倾向于研究网络在特定时间点的现状。然而,这种方法未能捕捉到网络内部的不稳定性,也没有纳入同时代人的看法。一种解决方案是将网络数据整合到一个时间序列中,该时间序列是围绕“网络记忆”的概念构建的。在一个关于约翰·平尼18世纪末尼维斯-布里斯托尔网络的案例研究中,我使用了一个两年的移动总和来模拟种植园贸易参与者记忆中短暂互动的挥之不去的本质。利用这一历史社会网络分析作为对主要材料进行迭代处理的基础,我探索了成为这个网络的一部分对平尼种植园中的被奴役者和他家中的妇女意味着什么。本文展示了这种方法的价值,并强调了历史学家可以利用它为早期现代商业网络的史学做出贡献的方式。

A Historical Social Network Analysis of John Pinney’s Nevis–Bristol Network: Change over Time, the “Network Memory,” and Reading Against the Grain of Historical Sources
Social network analysis is an increasingly common tool for historians seeking to understand the interrelations between individuals. A significant concern, however, is how we might measure changes within networks over time and between periods. Historians have favored examining the network as it stands at particular points in time. However, this approach fails to capture the instability within networks and does not incorporate the perceptions of contemporaries. One solution is to integrate network data into a time series that is built around conceptualizations of the “network memory.” In a case study on John Pinney’s late eighteenth-century Nevis–Bristol network, I use a two-year moving total to model the lingering nature of ephemeral interactions on the memories of those involved in the plantation trade. Using this historical social network analysis as the basis for an iterative approach to the primary material, I explore what being a part of this network meant for the enslaved people on Pinney’s plantation and for the women in his family. This article demonstrates the value of the approach and highlights the ways in which historians can use it to contribute to the historiography of early modern business networks.
