In Social Networks of Meaning and Communication, Jan A. Fuhse
offers a coherent theory of social structures as networks of
relations interwoven with meaning. Drawing upon and extending the
relational sociology of Harrison White and Charles Tilly, Fuhse
seeks to establish a theory of social networks. Using a broad range
of classic and contemporary social theory, he reconceptualizes
social networks as constituted in patterns of expectations that
form, reproduce, and change over the course of communicative
events. These events, he argues, are the basic building blocks of
the social world. They lead to expectations about the behavior of
actors and their interaction with others - the meaning structure
making for observable regularities of communication in social
networks. Social Networks of Meaning and Communication lays out a
relational and constructivist perspective of social networks,
highlighting a number of implications for social relationships,
groups, and collective actors, as well as ethnic categories and
cultural differences, roles and institutions, gender and family
relations, and methods of social network analysis. Its framework
bridges the gap in social network research between technically
sophisticated analyses and complex, elusive theorizing.
