We consider data with multiple observations or reports on a network in the case when these networks themselves are connected through some form of ties. could take example cognitive social structure where there is another type tie connecting actors that provide reports; study interpersonal spillover effects from one cultural domain to facilitated by Another individual semantic structures represented as group and actors' ties constitute knowledge group. How jointly represent two types not...

The literature suggests that the success of innovation clusters is based on personal networks connect members scientific, educational, and business organizations, stimulating more formalized cross-boundary collaborations between three sectors. But it still unclear if such organizational actually correspond with these ties which aspects communication are most strongly associated collaborations. To investigate issues, authors applied network analysis to study an cluster in Algarve, Portugal....

To foster creativity through sociality, residences put artists together. At the same time, in their quest for originality, often opt individualism. Little is known on how physical collocation affects artistic sociality. Addressing this gap, we draw a combination of interviews, observations, and surveys, analysed with an innovative mixture abductive coding, computational space analysis, statistical network modeling. This allows us to unveil room sharing object usage relate friendships...

This paper utilizes a mixture of qualitative, formal, and statistical socio-semantic network analyses to examine how cultural homophily works when field logic meets practice. On the one hand, because individuals in similar positions are also imposed with orientations, reproduces ‘objective’ structure intersubjective social ties. other fields operative practice accomplish pragmatic goals who occupy different often join groups, creatively reinterpret field-imposed produce similarities...

This paper explores meaning structures in the social practice of small groups. While and institutional fields impose structures, they are put to (emerge) context specific activities that take place within a field. Collaborating groups, field participants form such practical contexts. It enables playing on gaps overlaps among imposed joint creation emergent define them as group. Difficult capture, largely disregarded by perspectives structures. As consequence, importance collective is...

Abstract This article proposes an approach to compare semantic networks using concept-centered sub-networks. A sub-network is defined as induced network whose vertex set consists of the given concept (ego) and all its adjacent concepts (alters) link links between ego alters (including alter-alter links). By looking at overlap indices we infer similarity underlying concepts. We cross-evaluate by close-reading textual contexts from which are derived. illustrate on written interview texts...

Activists, private companies, and nonprofits increasingly address environmental issues along with scientific governmental bodies, each bringing valuable experience original perspectives. However, the growing diversity of expert knowledges in communication may complicate policy development implementation. To help this issue, we propose an account as a dynamic space involving multiple knowledges. enable account, offer computer-assisted mapping technique relating these to other at various time...

. The paper proposes a theoretical and methodological framework to study art as an autonomous reality, where knowledge is seen set of collectively shared meaning structures dynamically socially created throughout communication. latter triggered by artworks stimuli, intermediaries products communication, evoking intellectual emotional resonance between the creators various publics, thus being both catalysts reference points in process collective construction. It shown, that mechanisms...

Purpose: The social and cultural duality perspective suggests dual ordering of interpersonal ties similarities. Studies to date primarily focus on similarities in dyads driven by principles such as homophily contagion. We aim extend these for socio-cultural networks investigate potentially competing micro-principles that generate networks, taking into account not only direct dyadic overlap between structures, but also the indirect interplay cultural. Methodology: empirical analysis utilizes...
