结网织史：历史中的联系及其再现
Editor-in-chief Wang Wenjing Chen Hao
In this era, network metaphors are increasingly important. The information age (informationage) we live in has been called a network society (networksociety). In the space we live in, the Internet is everywhere. These networks vary widely, from the biological webs of hyphae connecting fungi, to railway networks, to the invisible electromagnetic binary networks with which modern humans communicate. In contemporary society, the significance of the Internet has broken through the boundaries of academia. It became a verb, and to network became a core concept in contemporary professional and private interpersonal interactions. Various social media based on this concept have greatly changed the lives of the public in the past 30 years. This book is a collection of the results of the third conference in the "Writing History: Reflections in Practice" series of conferences held in 2017, "Weaving History - Connections and Representations in History." It shows how researchers in history and other humanities and social sciences pursue the ancient and novel metaphor of the network and turn it into a way of telling the past and the current world.
