论文摘要
中世纪妇女的决定性代表之一是和平织人的角色，也就是说，一个妇女被期望在交战男人之间“编织”和平。奖学金的基本假设是，女性调解减少了男性暴力。但是，可以质疑这种立场，因为这可能是基于性别的和平与外交模式的结果，这些模式将妇女的角色降级到男人之间的渠道。通过分析复杂网络中某些节点的交流性和相关性的概念，我们展示了我们的资源如何使女性更复杂和细微的社会角色。作为一个案例研究，我们考虑了一个历史叙事，即贝德的“英国人民的教会历史”，这是从第一个到八世纪广告的英国历史，在中世纪在整个欧洲都非常流行。
One of the defining representations of women from medieval times is in the role of peace-weaver, that is, a woman was expected to 'weave' peace between warring men. The underlying assumption in scholarship on this topic is that female mediation lessens male violence. This stance can however be questioned since it may be the result of gender-based peace and diplomacy models that relegate women's roles to that of conduits between men. By analyzing the concept of communicability and relevance of certain nodes in complex networks we show how our sources afford women more complex and nuanced social roles. As a case study we consider a historical narrative, namely Bede's "Ecclesiastical History of the English People", which is a history of Britain from the first to eighth centuries AD and was immensely popular all over Europe in the Middle Ages.
