Mobility, Migration and Networks in Historiographical Research: How Sources Restore Agency to ‘Ordinary People’

This forum analyses how a dialogue between methodological approaches in historiographical research across different world regions and time periods can yield new perspectives on migration, mobility, and network research. By applying the postcolonial concept of subaltern groups, the authors discuss ways to let 'ordinary people' speak through unconventional sources.

Abstract

This forum analyses how a dialogue between methodological approaches in historiographical research across different world regions and time periods can yield new perspectives on migration, mobility, and network research. By applying the postcolonial concept of subaltern groups, the authors discuss ways to let 'ordinary people' speak through unconventional sources.
