Many of the issues explored by scholars today E mirror the original concerns of the discipline: sociology emerged in the first place as a science geared toward providing an institutionally informed and culturally rich understanding of eco- nomic life. Confronted with the profound social transformations of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the founders of so- ciological thought—Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, Georg Simmel—explored the relationship between the economy and the larger society (Swedberg and Granovetter 1992). They examined the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services through the lenses of domination and power, solidarity and inequal- ity, structure and agency, and ideology and culture. The classics thus planted the seeds for the systematic study of social classes, gender, race, complex organizations, work and occupations, economic devel- opment, and culture as part of a unified sociological approach to eco- nomic life. Subsequent theoretical developments led scholars away from this originally unified approach. In the 1930s, Talcott Parsons rein- terpreted the classical heritage of economic sociology, clearly distin- guishing between economics (focused on the means of economic ac- tion, or what he called “the adaptive subsystem”) and sociology (focused on the value orientations underpinning economic action). Thus, sociologists were theoretically discouraged from participating 1 2 The New Economic Sociology in the economics-sociology dialogue—an exchange that, in any case, was not sought by economists. It was only when Parsons’s theory was challenged by the reality of the contentious 1960s (specifically, its emphasis on value consensus and system equilibration; see Granovet- ter 1990, and Zelizer, ch.

Acknowledgements: I would like to thank Nina Bandelj, Mario Diani, David Gibson, Mustafa Emirbayer, John Levi Martin, Doug McAdam, Paul McLean, Francesca Polletta, Ziggy Rivken- Fish, Mimi Sheller, Sidney Tarrow, Charles Tilly, Harrison White, Elisabeth Wood, King-to Yeung, Viviana Zelizer and the participants at the Loch Lomond conference on Social Movements and Networks and the Workshop on Contentious Politics at Columbia University for their helpful comments and suggestions on this paper. ABSTRACT This paper expands the discussion of culture and networks in the social movements literature by focusing on processes of political communication across intersecting movement networks. I draw upon recent work in political culture that shifts attention from the structural manifestations of culture (e.g., identities, frames) to the dynamics of communicative practices. This work examines “forms of talk” as well as the social relations constructed by that talk. While such an approach is inherently relational, few of these researchers have yet incorporated formal network analysis into their work. I take up this challenge by applying recent attempts to link network and discursive approaches to my research on overlapping youth activist networks in Brazil. I describe a core set of conversational mechanisms that are highly contingent on (and constitutive of) crosscutting network relations: identity qualifying, temporal cuing, generality shifting and multiple targeting. I discuss the ways in which these mechanisms are constrained by different kinds of relational contexts, as well as the ways in which they contribute to different kinds of network building in movements, including political outreach, coordination, and alliance- building.

Viviana Zelizer in Conversation with José Ossandón José Ossandón* Viviana Zelizer† Published: December 31, 2019 Abstract In this interview, Viviana Zelizer discusses three dimensions that characterize her distinctive sociolog- ical approach to the economy. First, Zelizer explains how she made archival historical analysis her sociological method. Second, she talks about the relational character of her objects of study. Third, Zelizer discusses the part played by gender politics in her work. Keywords: Economic Sociology; Zelizer; Sociology of Money; Historical Methods; Gender. Acknowledgements The interview was conducted in 2010, when Viviana Zelizer visited the Universidad Diego Portales in Chile. The original conversation was in Spanish and video recorded (the video is available here: https://estudiosdelaeconomia.com/2011/01/04/para-una-aproximacion-relacional-e-historica-de-la- economia-una-entrevista-con-viviana-zelizer/).

I thank Macarena Barros and Francisca Lillo Razeto for their help with the transcription and translation. I am very grateful for Viviana’s help in this process. I am also very grateful for the way in which Viviana has advised and encouraged me and many other researchers of my generation over the years.

While political economy focuses largely on macro phenomena, economic sociology focuses on the embeddedness of economic action. The article argues that economic sociology can provide a microfoundation for political economy beyond rational actor theory and behavioral economics. At the same time political economy offers a unifying research framework for economic sociology with its focus on the explanation of capitalist dynamics. The sociological microfoundation for understanding of capitalist dynamics should focus on the expectations actors have regarding future states of the world.
