Agents of the State? Migration Networks of Theatre Practitioners in Galicia and Banat
摘要
This chapter provides a strong methodological argument for the use of network research methods in the analysis of historical migration patterns of theatre artists. By discussing the application of network research methods in other areas, Hopp shows the problems, but also the advantages of adapting these methods to theatre historiography. Finally, using data on theatre professionals in the Austrian crown lands of Bohemia, Galicia and Banat between 1848 and 1859, Hopp demonstrates how the visualisation of networks can be used to test hypotheses about the influence of centralisation measures on migration patterns.
