Beschreibung: Networks have turned into an almost universal principle of social organization. We make and break relations on social network sites like Facebook and LinkedIn; businesses are transformed from isolated organizations into nodes within global networks of competitors and collaborators; cities perceive themselves no longer as insular territorial entities but pool their strengths in city-networks; networks form the grid for the ever-extending flows of information, capital, goods, symbols and people. In short: we live in a 'network society' (Manuell Castells). This course explores which features distinguish networks from other forms of social organization; how networks are forged, sustained and broken; how networks produce innovations and promote development and when they morph into the social infrastructures of crime and conspiracy.
