Making Use of Models

Abstract

Jacob Bohé, Charlotte Feidicker, Angela Gutierrez, Frederic Kunkel, Laura Maria Niewöhner, Malte Wittmaack shed light on the question of how models and modeling could be applied to historical research. Iná three sections, different research fields in History will be explored concerning this question, i.e., economic history, situations of cultural contact, denazification, and the use of models in Digital Humanities. In every section, two authors discuss problems and chances in using models and modeling in their research projects within the SFB 1288 "Practices of comparing".
