Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book shows the falsity of the opposition between action and structure by setting out a sophisticated view of social structure at two levels. The figurational structures of interaction orders, mapped through methods of social network analysis, can be seen as partitioned by underlying formational structures such as class and gender.
