Keywords:
Nets. Embeddedness. Connexionism. Economical sociology.Abstract
In the last decades the economical sociology is playing debates about the use of the net concept in the analysis of the economical relationships. They stand out the proposition of the concept of "embeddedness" of Mark Granovetter (1973; 1985) and the notion of "connexionism" for Luc Boltanski (1999). While Granovetter proposes the concept as analytic tool for perception of the relationship among agents that are been worth of weak links in the social fabric for us to establish new connections and opportunities of performance, the critic of Boltanski points out that the current capitalism puts back the exploration in the measure in that organizes the individuals in a flowed net divided among connectors endowed with mobility and the ones that are under the constant tension of the disconnection for the action of these connectors. This rehearsal discusses the theoretical reach of these perspectives in the measure in that is been worth of the net category to articulate the agents' action and institutions in the explanation in the social dimension of the economical actions.Downloads
