Trust, Distrust and Local Networks in the Late Medieval Diocese of York

我的研究将考虑社会信任的作用，在中世纪晚期社区使用证人证词从约克事业文件在1300-1500年期间。它将采用双重方法，考虑信任和不信任的语言，并创建社交网络分析可视化，以探索每种情况下社区成员之间的联系网络。它将有助于对信任的未充分研究的“阴暗面”进行学术研究，这种“阴暗面”强化并造成地位和性别不平等以及“网络转向”，表明有可能采取批判性办法，将国民账户体系与其他形式的分析相结合。

My research will consider the role of social trust in late medieval communities using witness depositions from the York Cause Papers in the period 1300-1500. It will pursue a dual-methodological approach, considering the language of trust and distrust and creating Social Network Analysis visualisations to explore the network of connections between the community members in each case. It will contribute to scholarship on the understudied 'dark side' of trust, which reinforces and creates status and gender inequalities and the 'network turn', demonstrating the possibilities of a critical approach to integrating SNA with other forms of analysis.
