As a result, most people will connect the term with the Internet and social media platforms, but it has in fact a much broaderpost, application, as we will see shortly. Still, pictures like Figure 1.1 are what most people will think of when they hear the word “social network”: thousands of points connected to each other. In this particular case, the points represent political blogs in the United States (grey ones are Republican, and dark grey ones are Democrat), the ties indicating hyperlinks between them. -
THE NETWORK CITY Paul Craven Barry Wellman Research Paper No. 59 Centre for Urban and Community Studies Department of Sociology
THE NETWORK CITY Paul Craven Barry Wellman Research Paper No. 59 Centre for Urban and Community Studies and Department of Sociology University of Toronto July, 1973 To appear in a special issue on "The Community" of Sociological Inquiry. ABSTRACT The network approach to urban studies can be differentiated from other approaches by its insistence on the primacy of structures of interpersonal linkages, rather than the classification of social units according to their individual characteristics. Network analysis is an approach, leading to the formulation of particular kinds of questions, such as "who is linked to whom?" and "what is the structure and content of their relational network;" at the same time it is a methodology for their investigation. Following a discussion of network analytic methods, several of the key issues in urban studies are investigated from this perspective. Interpersonal ties in the city, migration, resource allocation, neighbor hood and connnunity are examined in terms of the network structures and processes that order and integrat~ urban activities. These structures and processes reveal U1emselves to be ever more complex and extensive at each level of the investigation. A view of the city itself as a network of networks is proposed. It is the organization of urban life by networks that makes the scale and diversity of the city a source of strength rather than chaos, while it is precisely that scale and diversity which maKes the complex and widely-ramified network structures possible. The flexibility inherent in network structures can accommodate a variety of situations, while variations in the content and intensity of network linkages allows for the co-ordination and integration of widely different people and activities. -

Book Review: Harrison White Identity and Control. How Social
ACTA SOCIOLOGICA 2010 Book Reviews Harrison White Identity and Control. How Social Formations Emerge Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2nd edn., 2008, 472 pp. ith publication of the first edition of Identity and Control in 1992, Harrison White secured Wa position among contemporary social theorists. Although second editions are not usually reviewed, White’s book calls for a review for two reasons. The first is the changes he has made, and the second is the status of the author of the book. People in fields such as network theory, economic sociology and mathematical sociology have used White’s ideas, but his work has a much broader relevance and it is shown in this new edition. It is no surprise that White is gaining respect in Europe. Though one should hesitate to generalize, sociological theory is still a largely European affair. White can be seen as the father of modern network theory, but in contrast to most of his old network peers, not only does he see network theory as a method, he addresses the phenomenology of networks, how they are constituted and, more generally, the emergence of social formations that we have to grasp if we are to make sense of any network. At least in practice, White is also the father of what has been called ‘relational sociology’. What are these social formations? The first line of the argument is that identities, which are the active poles in the Whitean system, are formed by attempts to control. However, identi- ties can only be stable if they are recognized by others. -

A Network Approach to Political Discourse Dynamics, Hungary 1997
INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC RESEARCH AND POLICY COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY WORKING PAPERS NEGOTIATING THE END OF TRANSITION: A NETWORK APPROACH TO POLITICAL DISCOURSE DYNAMICS, HUNGARY 1997 Balázs Vedres Columbia University Péter Csigó Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales December 2002 ISERP WORKING PAPER 02-06 Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy This paper was prepared for the course “Social Network Analysis” of Duncan Watts. We are thankful for the comments of Peter Bearman, David Stark, Harrison White, John Krinsky and the participants of the “Economic Sociology” seminar of Harrison White and the CODES workshop of David Stark. We are also thankful for the travel grant of the Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy and the Center on Organizational Innovation. Abstract The initial question of this paper is how the large scale social process of postsocialist transition ends. We argue that transition is closed by discursive innovations in the political field, rather than just spontaneous crystallization. The political field is depicted as a dynamic symbolic structure that is an arena of local action. First the possible discourse positions are extracted from the two mode network of speech acts and statements. Then using these typical positions the dynamics of responses and responses to responses is explored. We give an account of an emergent univocal government position that represents a successful role claim (an exit from the loops of local action) on the government’s side to coherently frame the end of transition. INTRODUCTION There is a bias in dynamic sociology towards focusing on the start of major social processes rather than their end. -

Chains of Affection: the Structure of Adolescent Romantic and Sexual Networks1
Chains of Affection: The Structure of Adolescent Romantic and Sexual Networks1 Peter S. Bearman Columbia University James Moody Ohio State University Katherine Stovel University of Washington This article describes the structure of the adolescent romantic and sexual network in a population of over 800 adolescents residing in a midsized town in the midwestern United States. Precise images and measures of network structure are derived from reports of re- lationships that occurred over a period of 18 months between 1993 and 1995. The study offers a comparison of the structural charac- teristics of the observed network to simulated networks conditioned on the distribution of ties; the observed structure reveals networks characterized by longer contact chains and fewer cycles than ex- pected. This article identifies the micromechanisms that generate networks with structural features similar to the observed network. Implications for disease transmission dynamics and social policy are explored. INTRODUCTION This article describes the structure of adolescent romantic and sexual networks in an American high school, accounts for the emergence of this 1 Data for this article are drawn from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), a program project designed by J.

Comparable Metaphors of Social Space? Bourdieu's Field and the American Sociology's Network C
Fields and Social Networks: Comparable Metaphors of Social Space? Autoria: Charles Kirschbaum Bourdieu’s Field and the American Sociology’s Network concepts have been considered incompatible from an ontological and epistemological point of view. While the former stresses the one’s position in a social space based on volumes and types of capital and exercise of symbolic power, the latter assumes an individualistic approach, taking the number of controlled ties as a proxy of capital, and power dimension would be underscored. Harrison White is among the sociologists who harshly criticize the latter approach, for its emphasis on individuals. White recovers the idea of ‘social space’, deemphasizing the hegemonic methodological individualism in social network analysis. This article seeks to compare Bourdieu’s and Harrison White’s theories, showing the elements that are irreducible to each other, as well as some common intuitions. Rather than offering a synthesis of these theories, I propose that they are complementary in understanding the dynamics of a social space. Bourdieu’s capital-based Field construct leads us closer to explain one’s interests in connection to her actions. White’s focus on ambiguous action within social networks is relevant to understand how actors uncouple recurrent patterns of social reproduction. Finally, I recover empirical examples where it is possible to combine both approaches. Introduction: beyond Functionalism One of the most popular streams of research in the revival of Economic Sociology explores the social conditions where economic transactions take place (GUILLEN et al, 2002; SWEDBERG, 2004). In general, such approach has rejected the radical methodological individualism initially proposed by economics, and lately introduced in the sociology (see for instance, COLEMAN, 1990). -
