Jacob has set up a wiki in addition to this blog. Even though the ideas of social capital will guide my work, I don’t know how explicit the notion will be as we proceed. How ever a recognition of the concept of value in relations; the idea that knowledge is not an object possessed by individuals, but is rather produced and reproduced in social relations, and that change and action are matters of social possibilities, constraints, and motivations will be at the forefront of my work.
Wikipedia already has a brilliant definition of the notion of social capital. So instead of indulging in knitty gritty definitions of the concept as I’m pretty sure I will end up doing anyway here, I would rather have the wiki function as a development platform of ideas on how to go about a research process, how to gather data, and analyze relations. In other words I hope the wiki will become an extensive toolbox and everybody’s hereby encouraged to take part in the writing.
Update: The plan was to enrich the bluming blog with a Shelfari widget, but now I don’t like Shelfari no more. Instead I’ll post book, article, and paper notes on the wiki until I find a better solution. - It’s notes, not reviews.
