“…However, few social network studies have based their analysis on the relational sociology framework. Building on historical accounts, Eacott (2018) shows that relational analysis provides sufficient ground to understand the United States’ education administration. Marcel Mauss, the nephew of Emile Durkheim, operationalizes relational sociology in a unique manner to study human relations through an analysis of reciprocity and gift exchange (Papilloud, 2018).…”

PurposeExtant literature indicates that people use existing social networks for various collective activities as there is a cost involved to create and maintain separate networks for different activities. The authors build on the relational sociology framework and test this assertion in by examining a dairy cooperative society, which is a community organization. We hypothesize that the cooperative members are likely to use existing social networks to operationalize their cooperative (dairy-related matters) and other social and personal relations. This study tests the hypothesis by studying information sharing relations among the dairy cooperative members in two different social networks: the dairy information network and social information network.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses social network analysis to analyze relational data.FindingsThe study finds that the members of the dairy cooperative maintain both information sharing networks separately and that each network has different control and efficiency mechanisms.Originality/valueThe findings contradict the assertions of existing literature and establish that people ensure their business relations remain separated from their social relations to avoid the possibility of social conflicts affecting their business activities.

“…Relational theories generally reject any substantialized entities such as actors or structures as starting points for sociological enquiry, and instead insist on relations as the final unit of sociological analysis. Whether it is for example power (Selg 2018), the family (Widmer and Jallinoja, 2008;Jallinoja and Widmer, 2011;Donati, 2012;Rossi and Carrà, 2017), agency (Burkitt, 2018), leadership and education (Eacott, 2018), the gift (Godbout & Caillé, 1998;Pyyhtinen, 2014;Papilloud, 2018b;Hénaff, 2020), problems of governance (Selg & Ventsel, 2020;Klasche, 2021), or music (Crossley, 2018;Emms and Crossley, 2018) that they examine, relational sociologists consider their objects of study in relational terms, as constellations of relations and as the outcome or effect of interactions or trans-actions of interdependent actors.…”

The article advances a type of relational sociology that is sensitive to the continually ongoing formation of beings and relations over the course of time. While the dynamic and fluid character of relations has been stressed by other relational scholars as well, the article suggests by drawing from the work of Simmel and anthropologist Tim Ingold that to attend to the coming-into-being and change of beings and relations, we need to alter the very grammar of considering relations: instead of fathoming them as connections between entities, we had better examine them as lines of life along which things become, act, change, move, and grow. This is to interweave the concept of relations with the notion of life, which the article conceptualizes by turning to the life-philosophy of Simmel. Instead of regarding life as encapsulated inside living organisms, Simmel considers it as form-giving immanent in the world’s incessant processes of becoming.
