• Georg Simmel: Sociability (1908)
All the forms of association by which a mere sum of separate
individuals are made into a “society” (Ritzer)
Social geometry: dyad (relation between two entities), triad (relation
between three entities)
Circles: social structure surrounding people based on a special
interest

I thus designate sociability as the play-form of sociation. Its relation to content-
determined, concrete sociation is similar to that of the work of art to reality. [...]
Sociability has no objective purpose, no content, no extrinsic results, it entirely
depends on the personalities among whom it occurs. Its aim is nothing but the
success of the sociable moment and, at most, a memory of it.
Hence the conditions and results of the process of sociability are exclusively the
persons who find themselves at a social gathering. (G. Simmel, 1908)

• Barry Wellman: Networked individualism (2002)
A community is a network of relationship
«in practice, societies and people’s lives are often mixtures of groups
and networks»

• Little boxes (Wellman 2002)
Pre-industrial social relationships were based on itinerant bands, agrarian villages, trading towns, and urban neighborhoods. People walked door-to-door to visit each other in spatially compact and densely-knit milieus. If most settlements or neighborhoods contained less than a thousand people, then almost everybody would know each other. Communities were bounded, so that most relationships happened within their gates rather than across them. Much interaction stayed within neighborhoods, even in big cities and trading towns. When people visited someone, most neighbors knew who was going to see whom and what their interaction was about. Contact was essentially between households, with the awareness, sanction and control of the settlement.

• Glocalized networks (Wellman 2002)
If “community” is defined socially rather than spatially, then it is clear that contemporary communities rarely are limited to neighborhoods. They are communities of shared interest rather than communities of shared kinship or locality. People usually obtain support, companionship, information and a sense of belonging from those who do not live within the same neighborhood or even within the same metropolitan area. Many people’s work involves contact with shifting sets of people in other units, workplaces, and even other organizations. People maintain these ties through phoning, emailing, writing, driving, railroading, transiting, and flying

• Networked Individualism (Wellman 2002)
We are now experiencing another transition, from place-to-place to person-to-person
connectivity. Moving around with a mobile phone, pager, or wireless Internet makes
people less dependent on place. Because connections are to people and not to places, the
technology affords shifting of work and community ties from linking people-in-places to
linking people wherever they are. It is I-alone that is reachable wherever I am: at a house,
hotel, office, freeway or mall. The person has become the portal […] The shift to a
personalized, wireless world affords networked individualism, with each person switching
between ties and networks. People remain connected, but as individuals rather than being
rooted in the home bases of work unit and household. Individuals switch rapidly between
their social networks. Each person separately operates his networks to obtain information,
collaboration, orders, support, sociability, and a sense of belonging

• Algorithm: clique percolation (Jürgens 2014)
“Networks can be said to have choke points that separate two well
connected areas from each other.”
“CP finds cliques where every node is connected to every other node
and “moves” them across the network until they reach a choke point”
“As the algorithm increases the size of cliques fewer and fewer
communities exist”http://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.94.160202

• Millions of people consult and interact with each other through the
use of internet. Each in its own way, participate in the networking
of news, but also to the transformation of these tools of
communication and socialization. Blogs, wikis, social networks are
- above all - tools of social relationship. The participative web then
obliges a profound rethinking of the classical concepts of the
sociology of communication.
• Davide Bennato offers a detailed analysis of the different tools and
platforms well known to the public, from Facebook to Youtube, and
examines the ethical and social consequences of the use of new
technologies.
