Abstract

[fre] Résumé Nous présentons ici certaines méthodes d'une thèse en préparation sur les négociants et les marchands de Bordeaux entre 1780 et 1830. Souhaitant brosser un tableau vivant des gens du commerce, du grand armateur au boutiquier de quartier, nous voulons dépasser la seule approche statistique souvent aride. C'est pourquoi, à côté du traitement global des contrats notariés, des listes fiscales et des almanachs, notre objectif est d'étudier de nombreux cas individuels. Grâce à l'informatique, nous pouvons aujourd'hui concilier les deux approches. Pour illustrer cette démarche, nous avons extrait de notre base de données un inconnu, Guillaume Nonlabade, dont la carrière va surgir comme par miracle du croisement informatique des sources quantitatives. [eng] Abstract This article aims at introducing some of the methods used in a thesis on the merchants and tradesmen of Bordeaux between 1780 and 1830. As we wish to paint a living picture of these people, from the big shipowners to the small shopkeepers, we want to go beyond the quite dry statistical approach. That is why we will not limit ourselves to the global treatment of notarized contracts, fiscal lists and other almanacs but analyse many individual cases. Thanks to data processing we can now do both. To illustrate our point we have chosen he completely unknown person, Guillaume Nonlabade, whose career is going to come up as if by miracle from the computerized criss-crossing of quantitative sources.
