Description

From networks to fields to figurations to discourses, relational ideas have become common in social science, and a distinct relational sociology has emerged over the past decade and a half. But so far, this paradigm shift has raised as many questions as it answers. Just what are "relations," precisely? How do we observe and measure them? How does rational thinking change what we already know about society? What new questions does it invite us to ask? This volume and it's companion volume Applying Relational Sociology: Relations, Networks and Society bring together, for the first time, the leading experts alongside up-and-coming scholars in the field to address fundamental questions about what relational sociology is and how it works.
