Network Analysis and Ethnographic Problems: Process Models of a Turkish Nomad Clan ReviewWhite and Johansen's "network analysis" is entirely different from the "network analysis" that was a rage for a while in the 1960s and 70s. In the 1960's many anthropologists and sociologists looked for "social structure" as a unitary system that encompassed and controlled people in society. When they could not find any real phenomenon that fit this description they shifted from the idea that society was a "structure" to the idea that it was a "network," creating what they called "network analysis." Network analysis in that sense, like "structural analysis" and "structural functional analysis" before it, was simply description "as if," and the basic problem was that it was wrong. Society is not a network any more than it is a structure. The metaphor added nothing but a false sense of coherence, easily deflated by closer inspection.
Network analysis as White has been developing it and as he and Johansen apply it here is not based on a common sense image of a net but on formal graph theory. Nor is it just one technique or method developed on this basis but a whole armamentarium of them, united under a system of general and powerful conceptions of social organization as such. It is such an enormous advance over what anthropologists called network analysis in the 1960s and 70s that it is almost a type of negative advertising to call it by the same name, yet there is a connection. White and Johansen actually deliver what those earlier analyses only promised-and then they keep on going.Network Analysis and Ethnographic Problems: Process Models of a Turkish Nomad Clan Overview
