Summary:

"This forward-thinking Handbook explores two major research strands in the fast-developing field of culture and network analysis: the underlying social networks of culture and the cultural bases of social networks. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, editors Nick Crossley and Paul Widdop bring together world-leading academics working on the culture-networks interface. The Handbook of Culture and Social Networks outlines theoretical foundations, applies network theory to varying acts and forms of culture, and brings into focus the question of social and relational meaning itself. Presenting empirical data, simulated network studies and first-person experiences, chapter authors develop nuanced social network analyses to help us understand the ways in which we experience and exist in society. This Handbook is an invaluable resource for students and academics working in cultural sociology, social networks and sociological theory. Exploring social networks in a variety of different cultural contexts, it will also appeal to researchers and practitioners in the arts and humanities"-- Provided by publisher.
