摘要

通过将Breiger（1974）关于个人和群体二元性的概念扩展到传记数据，个人和组织可以通过职业重叠联系起来，形式化为k圈，这是一种最小成员分解方法。这种k圈测量方法用于识别1910年至2020年间超过3万名丹麦精英传记中的关键人物和组织。我们将基于简历数据的中心圈与通过隶属关系网络确定的精英进行了比较，结果表明，k-圈确定的是职业中心，而不是精英的交汇点。我们讨论k圆如何与中心性的标准度量相关联。

Overlapping social circles in historical elite career networks:Measuring accumulated social status with ‘k-circles’ and circle esteem in bipartite networks

By extending Breiger’s (1974) notion of the duality of persons and groups to biographical data, individuals and organisations can be linked through career overlaps, formalised as k-circles, a minimal members decomposition approach. This k-circle measure is used to identify key individuals and organisations in biographies of more than 30,000 Danish elites between 1910 and 2020. We compare the central circle based on CV data to an elite identified through affiliation networks, showing that k-circles identify career hubs rather than the meeting points of elites. We discuss how k-circles are associated with standard measures of centrality.

期刊介绍： Social Networks is an interdisciplinary and international quarterly. It provides a common forum for representatives of anthropology, sociology, history, social psychology, political science, human geography, biology, economics, communications science and other disciplines who share an interest in the study of the empirical structure of social relations and associations that may be expressed in network form. It publishes both theoretical and substantive papers. Critical reviews of major theoretical or methodological approaches using the notion of networks in the analysis of social behaviour are also included, as are reviews of recent books dealing with social networks and social structure.
