Towards Relational Sociology

Informationen zum Autor Nick Crossley is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Manchester, UK. He has published on a wide range of issues in sociology, most recently on social network analysis. Klappentext The book argues for a properly 'relational' approach to sociology. It explores what such an enterprise would involve by unpacking and evaluating the key concepts in the relational 'toolbox' - interaction, relations, networks and power. It links more abstract and theoretical debates on the nature of relational thought to more concrete concerns of method and research practice.
