“…While it does not allow for the reduction of edges, it shows which concepts have most edges associated with them. It facilitates, therefore, a more systematic determination of which discursive elements constitute what is known in cultural anthropology as root paradigms, key metaphors, dominant schemata or central symbols of a given culture [40,2].…”

The use of data and algorithms in the social sciences allows for exciting progress, but also poses epistemological challenges. Operations that appear innocent and purely technical may profoundly influence final results. Researchers working with data can make their process less arbitrary and more accountable by making theoretically grounded methodological choices. We apply this approach to the problem of reducing networks representing ethnographic corpora. Their nodes represent ethnographic codes, and their edges the co-occurrence of codes in a corpus. We introduce and discuss four techniques to reduce such networks and facilitate visual analysis. We show how the mathematical characteristics of each one are aligned with a specific approach in sociology or anthropology: structuralism and post-structuralism; identifying the central concepts in a discourse; and discovering hegemonic and counter-hegemonic clusters of meaning.

“…Left, green and liberal groups 2018), whereby the novelty of political science and anthropology collaborations is emphasised (Cerwonka & Malki 2007). Meanwhile, some political scientists are critical of a 'newness' narrative; therefore, they highlighted political science's forgotten history of observational methods (Schatz, 2017;Wedeen, 2010) and, in the words of Aronoff and Kubik (2012), a 'convergent approach' between political science and anthropology. Indeed, evidence for the latter perception may be seen in the domain of the EP and EU institutions (Abélès, 1993;Abélès et al, 1993;Busby, 2013;Shore, 2000;Wodak, 2003).…”

“…… These people do not know how to make sense of the new symbolic order and cannot fit into the new institutional design in which "civilizational competence" is king! (2006: 469-470) Supporting Buchowski's criticism, several authors have shown that the pathologized and orientalized "losers" of the transformation continue to engage with their circumstances in meaningful and apt ways (Aronoff and Kubik 2012;Burawoy and Verdery 1999;Rakowski 2016).…”

This monograph of contemporary Polish depression sheds light on the social, political, and semantic processes that have shaped its meanings, ex- periences, understandings, and treatments. Examining depression’s history in Poland after 1989, the author not only considers the social conditions of clinical practice, but also explores a broader phenomenon of the cultural dynamic of realification (urealnienie) – the socially produced sense of realness of the world around us. The book thus touches upon various aspects of cultural theory while keeping an ethnographic, empirical character.
