Der vorliegende Artikel präsentiert ein Forschungsprojekt, das die politische Kultur einer deutschen Kleinstadt (Esslingen) für den Zeitraum von 1830 bis zur Revolution von 1848 zu rekonstruieren versucht. EDVmäßig erfaßt werden soziale und familiäre prozeßproduzierte Daten im Zusammenhang mit qualitativen Informationen über politische Einstellungen und Verhaltensweisen. Den Kern bilden individuelle und kollektive Biographien, die den Stellenwert politischen Verhaltens im Lebenszyklus und Lebensstil der verschiedenen sozialen Klassen verdeutlichen. Weiterhin zeigen diese Biographien das soziale und verwandtschaftliche Netzwerk, das den politischen Aktivitäten zugrunde liegt. (pmb)... view less

'This article presents a project, which seeks to reconstruct the political culture in a German town (Esslingen) from 1830 to the Revolution of 1848. It is based on computerized record linkage and connects social and familial data from serial sources with qualitative information about political attitudes and behavior. The core of this prosopographical approach is produced by individual and collective biographies that show the meaning of political behavior within the lifecycle and lifestyle of people of different social classes. In addition, linking these biographies reveals social and kinship networks that underlie political activities. The article deals especially with methodological problems of identification and individual self-representation in serial sources that complicate nominal record linkage procedures. In petitions for example people present themselves in different roles and with different interests. Therefore a simple list of names can give unexpected insights into social relations and the self-interpretation of people, groups and organizations.' (author's abstract)... view less
