A metaphor of classical social theory concerning the “intersection” persons within groups and individual is translated into a set techniques to aid in empirical analysis interpenetration networks interpersonal ties intergroup ties. These are useful study director interlocks, clique structures, organizations community national power other collectivities which share members. The “membership network analysis” suggested this paper compared contrasted with sociometric approaches applied by Davis...

A burgeoning literature spanning sociologies of culture and social network methods has for the past several decades sought to explicate relationships between connectivity. number promising recent moves toward integration are worthy review, comparison, critique, synthesis. Network thinking provides powerful techniques specifying cultural concepts ranging from narrative networks classification systems, tastes, repertoires. At same time, we see theoretical advances by sociologists as providing...
The late pre-Hispanic period in the US Southwest (A.D. 1200–1450) was characterized by large-scale demographic changes, including long-distance migration and population aggregation. To reconstruct how these processes reshaped social networks, we compiled a comprehensive artifact database from major sites dating to this interval western Southwest. We combine network analysis with geographic information systems approaches dynamics over 250 y. show networks were transformed across region at...
A compilation of original work by leading scholars who have all adopted structural approaches to mobility studies. It analyzes concrete social entities such as individuals, jobs, organizations and labour markets with reference the structures exchange among them.
This paper provides an analytical framework within which hypotheses of class structure are brought to bear directly in the formulation models for occupational mobility table. The proper aggregation rows and columns is portrayed as fundamental theoretical issue table analysis, rather than exogenous "given" be decided upon prior construction explicit models.

We describe some of the ways that field content analysis is being transformed in an Era Big Data. argue analysis, from its beginning, has been concerned with extracting main meanings a text and mapping those onto space textual corpus. In contrast, we suggest emergence new styles mining tools creating opportunity to develop different kind as computational hermeneutics. Here goal go beyond meaning mimic kinds questions concerns have traditionally focus hermeneutically grounded close reading,...
Reviews of recent research on the transmission socioeconomic advantage have decried increasing “narrowness” field. This chapter focuses an alternative proposition, namely, that there is now a large enough body work seeking fundamentally to reorient field social attainment studies it useful identify commonalities as well distinctive features. Conceptualization and operationalization “social structure” in stratification point departure. Special attention given contemporary efforts formulate...
Blockmodel analysis offers a perspective for developing operational theories of role interlock across multiple networks. We identify precisely those features that are shared by the elites two small cities. This joint structure is then interpreted with aid an algebraic model we formulate on basis Granovetter's (1973) "strength weak ties" argument. Our discussion illustrates operationalization substantive and theoretical concepts in form idealized structures, their application via blockmodel...
