Recenzje

The idea that societies are vast networks of relations between social actors has a long history in sociology and is currently enjoying something of a renaissance in relational sociology...the central argument of Social Networks of Meaning and Communication by Jan Fuhse is that they comprise "observable regularities in communication" and a "meaning structure" that specifies the identities of participants and related expectations regarding interaction between them.
