This document discusses the history of social network analysis. It describes early precursors in the late 1800s including the work of Emile Durkheim and Ferdinand Tonnies. Formal social network analysis developed in the 1950s with kinship studies and urbanization studies. In the 1960s-1970s, scholars worked to combine different traditions, including groups centered around Harrison White at Harvard University and the work of Charles Tilly and Stanley Milgram.

COM494 Social Network Analysis Kyounghee Hazel Kwon
油
This document provides an overview of the founding works and key concepts in studying social networks. It discusses (1) early theorists like Simmel, Tonnies, and the civil rights movement who examined concepts like groups, identity, and isolation; (2) diffusion of innovation research that categorized adopters; and (3) methods of analyzing network ties, structures, positions, and visualizing networks through graphs. The analysis of social networks is based on matrix algebra and aims to identify clusters, densities, bridges, and indirect or latent relationships between individuals.The New Public Sphere: Global Civil Society, Communication networks and Globa...

This document summarizes key points from Manuel Castells' book "The New Public Sphere: Global Civil Society, Communication Networks, and Global Governance". It defines the public sphere and discusses how globalization has impacted nation-states and given rise to a global civil society and new forms of global governance. Global civil society actors like NGOs and social movements now influence global debates through diverse media and communication networks. Nation-states have adapted through international associations and institutions. The global public sphere, built on internet and media networks, allows non-state actors to shape public opinion and social change on the global stage. Public diplomacy is now crucial for attaining sustainable global governance through networked communication.Varieties of capitalism, varieties of modernity
Varieties of capitalism, varieties of modernityMarcus Leaning
油
This document summarizes Dr. Marcus Leaning's analysis of Ulrich Beck's theory of secondary modernity and its relationship to varieties of capitalism. Beck argues that modernity has radicalized into a reflexive secondary modernity. However, critics argue that Beck presents a naive Eurocentric view and fails to account for non-Western experiences. Leaning proposes understanding modernity as having local configurations that are linked through global processes, representing varieties of modernity rather than being completely separate.Interactivity and the problematic nature of a substantivist reading

The document analyzes the 2010 student occupation at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London. It argues that student occupations form around resistant discourses and diffuse values through new media across borders in a translocal manner. The SOAS occupation utilized mobile phones, email, social media and other tools to organize activities and communicate both within the occupation and with other student groups. The use of new communication technologies helped create an open, fluid political space that challenged traditional power structures.Cyberpolitics2009w4

The document discusses democracy and the public sphere in the context of cyberpolitics. It defines democracy as rule by the people and outlines Robert Dahl's five principles of democracy. Three approaches to democracy are described: liberal individualism, communitarianism, and deliberative democracy. The internet is discussed as potentially enhancing each approach through information sharing, online communities, and as an electronic public sphere for deliberation. Habermas' concept of the public sphere and agora is also introduced. The document poses questions about whether the internet has transformed Habermas' idea of the public sphere and asks for examples of how this may contribute to the development of democracy.Audience

The document discusses several theories of how audiences interact with and interpret media texts:
1) The Hypodermic Needle Model from the 1920s viewed audiences as passive receivers of media messages, without considering individual experiences or opinions.
2) The Two-Step Flow theory from the 1940s suggested information spreads from media to opinion leaders and their social circles, rather than directly to the masses.
3) Uses and Gratifications theory from the 1940s-1960s viewed audiences as actively choosing media texts to fulfill various needs like information, social interaction, and entertainment.
4) Reception Theory from the 1980s-1990s focused on how individual attributes like gender, class, and ethnicity influence howHabermas, the public sphere, and democracy a critical intervention

Douglas Kellner critically analyzes Habermas's concept of the public sphere. Habermas argued that the bourgeois public sphere allowed citizens to openly assemble and critically debate issues of common concern that could influence political decisions. However, Kellner notes criticisms that Habermas neglected groups like women and workers. Kellner also discusses how new technologies are creating new public spheres, and that activists should use these technologies to engage the public and intervene in debates.The public sphere

The document discusses the public sphere as defined by Habermas, the generation of public opinion through assembly and dialogue to guide state affairs, and the blurring of boundaries between public and private spheres with new media. Specifically:
1) Habermas defined the public sphere as private people gathering together as a public to articulate societal needs to the state.
2) The public sphere generates opinions and attitudes through discussion and debate that can affirm or challenge the state.
3) With new media, the separation between public and private spheres has become slimmer as information transfer is no longer confined to physical spaces but can occur anywhere through mobile technology.Lim JUS394 Internet Public Sphere

The document discusses Jurgen Habermas's concept of the public sphere and how it has changed over time. It provides three key points:
1) For Habermas, a public sphere is a space where private individuals can gather and discuss matters of common concern, which emerged in the 18th century with the rise of the middle class in places like coffee houses and salons.
2) Mass media have now become the chief institutions of the public sphere, though they are subject to biases, censorship and corporate interests that threaten equitable representation.
3) The Internet poses both opportunities and challenges for renewing the public sphere, through issues around access, free speech, community standards and globalization.COMS101: The Public Sphere

2) Habermas analyzed the emergence of the bourgeois public sphere in 18th century Europe as a space for public deliberation and debate separate from the state.
3) However, critiques argue the public sphere was never truly inclusive and declined due to industrial capitalism, mass media commercialization, and state interventionism limiting critical debate.Scale-free social networks in Ukrainian democratic movement since 1976

This document summarizes an empirical study on how social networks have impacted social order in Morocco. It finds that social networks have led to both individualized socialization, as people can connect virtually without facing social barriers, and socialized individualism, as networks allow people to publicly share aspects of their personal lives. Specifically, networks are changing concepts of friendship and enabling new forms of courtship and relationship building while also potentially undermining traditional values. However, networks may also risk increasing isolation and replacing real-world social bonds with superficial online connections. The study is based on surveys of over 500 Moroccans exploring how social networks influence their lives and relationships.News And The Public Sphere

1. Jurgen Habermas developed the concept of the public sphere as a space where private citizens could publicly discuss political issues.
2. A study analyzed newspaper coverage of the 1999 Scottish election and found that Scottish papers provided substantially more coverage compared to UK papers, with a greater emphasis on feature articles and opinions to inform voters.
3. The findings suggest that newspaper coverage can help facilitate an informed public sphere where citizens discuss issues to make democratic decisions.Connecting the disconnected. Social work and Social Network Analysis. A metho...

Social network theory and analysis (SNA) offers a useful conceptual framework and a robust set of methods for understanding, analysing, and representing the pattern of social interactions that surround individuals forming an overall network of ties. SNA provides both insights and applications regarding relational structures that may be consequential for individual and collective agency. Despite the fact that both SNA and social work focus on relationships and behaviour, and that each discipline could substantively inform the other, there remains a significant lack of intersection between the two disciplines. In response to this gap, SNA applied to social work can provide additional ways to both diagnose and intervene behaviourally through the following approaches: a) by identifying key players in promoting the dissemination of behavioral changes in networks; b) by segmenting and identifying groups, cliques and communities; c) by supporting behavioural change through social ties surrounding the individual; and d) by aligning and applying specific interventions that draw on mutually interactive processes in terms of individual influences on networks, as well as network influences on individuals. SNA provides social work with an additional lens and set of tools based on the constellation of interactions surrounding individuals, families, groups or communities that supports understanding, diagnosis, and intervention.My slides for public sphere

The document discusses how the public sphere evolved in the 19th century, as new communication technologies emerged but were controlled by authorities, limiting public participation. It then analyzes how the Internet has enabled a true public sphere through its decentralized many-to-many communication model that gives citizens freedom to discuss public issues without restrictions. The ability of individuals to publish their own content online has challenged traditional power structures and promoted more democratic discussion.Comparing Media Systems and Political Communications

2. The internet has allowed for a more inclusive public sphere compared to traditional mass media like television and newspapers by having lower barriers to participation.
3. Key aspects of the online public sphere enabled by the internet include greater access, interaction between discussants, and the ability to judge ideas on their merit rather than the speaker.Liberal pluralism

This syndicate meeting focused on determining the skills needed for future journalists in a network society and how to teach those skills. The group discussed concepts like the network society, nodes, ties, and flows. They concluded that network society concepts should be taught across journalism courses. Additionally, journalists should make complex issues understandable, not oversimplified, and understand how networks work. Educators should teach how networks empower citizens and promote accountability. Since journalism is changing, students need to keep learning new skills and experimenting with different practices. Journalists also need skills to verify information offline through firsthand observation.McLuhan100 and social media

This document summarizes the media landscape in Croatia in the early to mid 1990s. It describes the transition from the communist era media model that supported the state to a nationalist agenda under President Tudjman. New media like the Internet emerged but were also aligned with the government through state-controlled networks. In contrast to restrictions on traditional media, new media faced little censorship due to its decentralized nature and lack of national debate. The authorities were not technically incapable of censoring new media but found little need as it did not foster discussion that challenged their rule.Liberal pluralism def

Liberal pluralism media theory argues that:
1) The media acts as the "fourth estate" in society, alongside the government, legal system, and church, by keeping the public informed about these institutions and holding the powerful accountable.
2) Unlike Marxist views that see the media as a tool for class domination, pluralists believe the media responds to audience demands in democratic societies with a range of political views.
3) Pluralists see the media as generally playing a positive role by facilitating an informed electorate and democratic debate, while still being subject to reasonable criticism.community management

A community is a group of people who interact based on shared interests. Social networks contain strong and weak links. Strong links between frequent contacts can increase trust, while weak links provide access to new information. Building a network involves connecting with collaborators, staying in touch with acquaintances, and finding potential new links. Maintaining networks requires frequent interaction with strong links and occasional interaction with weak links. Expressive networks aim to preserve resources within a dense core, while instrumental networks extend beyond to access new resources through weak and structural ties. Twitter can be used to diffuse information to followers and discuss topics with hashtags.IEEE SocialCom 2009: NetViz Nirvana (NodeXL Learnability)

Social networks have evolved significantly since their inception, allowing for new forms of social interaction online. Early sociological studies of social structures and institutions helped inform the modern analysis of social networks. Today, social network analysis has become a key method of study in fields like anthropology and sociology. Social networks on the internet are web applications that facilitate contact between individuals, both among existing connections and new connections formed through the platform. There are different types of social networks including general networks like Facebook and Twitter, professional networks like LinkedIn for work connections, and more specialized networks focused on particular topics or interests.Making the invisible visible through SNA

Social network theory examines relationships between individuals and groups, and social network analysis uses mathematical and sociological methods to study patterns of information exchange within human networks. Key concepts include nodes, ties, and the identification of cohesive groups and brokers that control information flow. Studies by Milgram and Watts demonstrated that most people are connected through just 6 degrees of separation. Applying these insights, information professionals can map information routes and fill gaps to improve dissemination.Social networkanalysisfinal

Social network theory examines relationships between individuals and groups through attributes like information exchange, tie strength, and flow of resources. Social network analysis uses tools from graph theory and sociology to study patterns of information exchange in human networks. It provides insights into identifying and modifying information flow, as well as cohesive groups and key information brokers. Milestone studies include Milgram's small world experiment showing six degrees of separation and Watts' work confirming small path lengths in human networks.4 1-introduction to sociology

This document provides an overview of sociology and related social science disciplines. It defines key terms like sociology, microsociology, macrosociology, and discusses the main theoretical perspectives in sociology including functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. It also distinguishes sociology from other social sciences, explores levels of analysis from micro to macro, and examines how sociology studies social structures, institutions, and interactions that shape human behavior and society.Rete e Reti: Per-che' e per-chi?

Social network analysis examines the connections between individuals, groups, organizations, or other social entities. It focuses on interactions rather than individual behavior. Network analysis can be applied across many disciplines to study how the structure of relationships influences functioning. Early research in fields like sociology, anthropology, and educational psychology helped develop concepts still used today, such as examining homophily and interaction patterns. Key concepts in network analysis include nodes, edges, degree, clustering coefficients, and graph diameter. "Small world" networks are highly clustered with short path lengths, characteristics seen in many real-world networks. Social capital research also examines how network connections impact groups, organizations, and individuals.intro.ppt

The document discusses a letter exchange between 10-year-old Sophia Bailey Klugh and President Barack Obama regarding gay marriage rights, and analyzes contemporary American society through the lens of Emile Durkheim's sociological theories. It suggests that Sophia's letter reflects an "anomic" situation in American culture and structure, while Obama's response demonstrates Durkheim's concepts of the state and democracy. The analysis focuses on Durkheim's ideas of social solidarity, mechanical versus organic solidarity, and the relationship between culture and social structure.Sophias correspondence with president obama a durkheimian analysis of contem...

This document analyzes a correspondence between 10-year-old Sophia Bailey Klugh and President Obama regarding gay rights and same-sex marriage using Durkheim's sociological theories. Sophia, adopted by a gay couple, wrote Obama thanking him for supporting gay marriage after facing teasing from classmates. Obama responded with compassion. The authors argue Sophia's letter reflects an "anomic" situation in American society due to tensions between traditional and modern values on this issue. However, Obama's response emphasizes democratic principles of freedom and equality, aiming to overcome this pathological condition, as Durkheim theorized healthy societies regulate individuals to maximize both social order and individual liberty. The document uses Durkheim's concepts of mechanical vsOptimizing interconnectivity inhabiting virtual cities of common practice

This document discusses the design of online social environments and virtual communities. It argues that online spaces should be designed as social technologies that facilitate human interaction, rather than just as tools for sharing information. The author proposes using the city as a metaphor to think about designing virtual spaces, and discusses how identity formation works differently online compared to in-person due to the lack of physical cues. The document outlines the author's thesis, which develops approaches for creating online spaces that better support social interaction and the communication of identity through visualization tools and information architectures.Summary Communication Theory

This document provides an overview of communication theory and symbolic interactionism. It discusses what constitutes a good theory and examines different images of theory. A good theory goes beyond accepted wisdom to offer explanations. Additionally, a theory should consist of interconnected concepts that shape perception and behavior. Symbolic interactionism holds that people act based on the meanings and interpretations they assign to people, things, and events through social interactions and language. George Herbert Mead was influential in developing this perspective, which was further advanced by his student Herbert Blumer through the term "symbolic interactionism."Internet
- 2. Social network A social network is a social structure made of nodes (which are generally individuals or organizations) that are tied by one or more specific types of interdependency, such as values, visions, ideas, financial exchange, friendship, sexual relationships, kinship, dislike, conflict or trade.
- 3. Social network Social network analysis views social relationships in terms of nodes and ties. Nodes are the individual actors within the networks, and ties are the relationships between the actors. The resulting graph-based structures are often very complex. There can be many kinds of ties between the nodes.
- 4. Social network Research in a number of academic fields has shown that social networks operate on many levels, from families up to the level of nations, and play a critical role in determining the way problems are solved, organizations are run, and the degree to which individuals succeed in achieving their goals.
- 5. Social network In its simplest form, a social network is a map of all of the relevant ties between the nodes being studied. The network can also be used to determine the social capital of individual actors. These concepts are often displayed in a social network diagram, where nodes are the points and ties are the lines.

- 7. History of social network analysis Precursors of social networks in the late 1800s include mile Durkheim and Ferdinand T旦nnies.
- 8. History of social network analysis T旦nnies argued that social groups can exist as personal and direct social ties that either link individuals who share values and belief (gemeinschaft) or impersonal, formal, and instrumental social links (gesellschaft). Durkheim gave a non-individualistic explanation of social facts arguing that social phenomena arise when interacting individuals constitute a reality that can no longer be accounted for in terms of the properties of individual actors.
- 9. History of social network analysis He distinguished between a traditional society "mechanical solidarity" which prevails if individual differences are minimized, and the modern society "organic solidarity" that develops out of cooperation between differentiated individuals with independent roles.
- 10. History of social network analysis Georg Simmel, writing at the turn of the twentieth century, was the first scholar to think directly in social network terms. His essays pointed to the nature of network size on interaction and to the likelihood of interaction in ramified, loosely-knit networks rather than groups (Simmel, 1908/1971).
- 11. History of social network analysis Social network analysis developed with the kinship studies of Elizabeth Bott in England in the 1950s and the 1950s-1960s urbanization studies of the University of Manchester group of anthropologists (centered around Max Gluckman and later J. Clyde Mitchell) investigating community networks in southern Africa, India and the United Kingdom. Concomitantly, British anthropologist S.F. Nadel codified a theory of social structure that was influential in later network analysis.
- 12. History of social network analysis In the 1960s-1970s, a growing number of scholars worked to combine the different tracks and traditions. One large group was centered around Harrison White and his students at Harvard University: Ivan Chase, Bonnie Erickson, Harriet Friedmann, Mark Granovetter, Nancy Howell, Joel Levine, Nicholas Mullins, John Padgett, Michael Schwartz and Barry Wellman.
- 13. History of social network analysis Also important in this early group were Charles Tilly, who focused on networks in political sociology and social movements, and Stanley Milgram, who developed the "six degrees of separation" thesis.
