Financial networks’ study and understanding has become extremely important since the global financial meltdown in 2007-2009 when the inter-connectedness of institutions has surfaced as one of the major culprits for the magnitude of the distress. This paper aims at providing a new approach to describe and better understand the networks of institutions and their global properties. It is based on Directed Cyclic Graphs - a subset of Probabilistic Graphical Models which have already found use in other domains such as physics and computer science. The paper draws some parallels and contrasts with other studies in the field of Network Theory. It then concludes with a stylized example.

Mapping Technology

This article develops a new approach to analysing the technology-harm nexus. The approach distinguishes between different technology-harm relations: relations with technology that are harmful by virtue of what they contribute to bringing about. In this article, I focus on categorizing generative harm relations: relations with technology that are harmful by virtue of what they do to actors. Drawing together insights from zemiology, moral philosophy, postphenomenology, Stiegler’s technophenomenology, and Latour’s actor-network theory, I distinguish six generative harm relations: ambient harms, alterity harms, exclusion harms, interface harms, harm translation and zemiosis. Distinguishing between these generative harm relations helps us delineate the techno-sociality of a range of social harms, from gun violence and digital coercive control, to forms of oppression, inequality and immiseration (re)produced by algorithms.

The Life Course

Family relationships and the emotional and instrumental exchanges embedded within them are among the most important sources of social support available to individuals throughout the life course. This chapter provides an overview of three approaches to family research that conceptualize families as networks. The basic idea throughout the chapter is that family structure is not a sufficient proxy for a person’s access to social support, but network approaches offer a potential solution. First, the chapter discusses approaches that render the language of families as systems into configurations of network structures, with a focus on how to measure the capacity for social support embedded within them. The discussion then turns to research that employs a more inclusive understanding of family, widening the definition of what “counts” as kin. The chapter ends with a discussion of a new approach to measuring family relationships rooted in a network theory of social roles.
