Sticky Struggles: A talk on social stratification based on networks
Sticky struggles sum up a new approach to social stratification based on networks.聽 Networks are taken as probabilities of renewal of interaction, not bonds that are present/absent.聽 Accumulated co-learning with specific others motivates renewal of ties and discourages rupture.聽 Stratification is circumscribed by network evolution which can be approximated by a first order markov process. This entails the emergence of a macro-structure,聽 a principle dimension of stratification. Re-analysis of occupational mobility data provides ample empirical support.
