Turkey’s Yeşilçam film industry produced more than 5500 films during its lifetime of 40 years. The industry had a unique narrative approach shaped around its economic model, Turkey’s ambivalent connection with modernization and the country’s domestic culture. Yet, particular characteristic qualities of the industry remained rather limited up until the last decade, in which vast databases were built up as a consequence of the digital turn. In this study, we develop a relational approach and conduct network analysis to the Yeşilçam with the aim to better understand the patterns of its constitution. Our findings suggest that Yeşilçam was not a homogenous industry as often considered by the film scholarship, rather divided into two main clusters in which professional, narrative and financial dynamics were significantly different.

Bridge builder between generations: Koos Roets’s cooperation network in the Afrikaans film industry. Koos Roets’s contribution to the Afrikaans film industry is widely recognised. Nevertheless, very little has been published specifically about his role in the Afrikaans film industry, although many studies exist about his collaborators such as Jans Rautenbach and Katinka Heyns. This article investigates Roets’s collaboration network by means of a network analysis, and identifies the persons with whom he collaborated the most, indicating his varied roles on different films. It is also indicated that he not only is and was an important role-player in his own right in this industry, but has also collaborated with many other important role-players in the Afrikaans film industry. He has contributed to Afrikaans films in collaboration with more than a 1000 persons throughout his career of nearly six decades. The directors, producers, sound operators, actors and crew with whom he has collaborated the most are highlighted, and the films on which they worked together are mentioned.

Network analysis of regional production clusters - the film industry of Potsdam/Babelsberg. The cluster concept has assumed a prominent position in economic geography in recent times. Although there are numerous analyses based on the cluster concept, no agreement has been reached on suitable methods for analysis and comparison of regional clusters. This paper presents a research design for the analysis of regional production clusters which employs the network analysis method to develop, in particular, the quality ,,analysis“ of clusters, using the film industry production cluster in Potsdam/Babelsberg as an example.

This paper investigates the sociomateriality of collective creation in the context of a design studio project. Grounded in a relational approach that has influenced a multitude of studies in various fields, the notion of sociomateriality accounts for the constitutive entanglement of the social and the material in practice. How this entanglement occurs or what exactly is subjected to it, however, remains largely unarticulated, especially in studies where the handling of materials lies at the heart of the research process. By adopting a relational approach operationalized through qualitative network analysis, we traced the sociomaterial trajectories of a studio project to identify the moments in which various actors were entangled. The resulting network visualizes these moments and assists in explicating how they enabled the instantiation of intersubjective design ideas.

ABSTRACTIn the previous decade, the literature on “relational approach” has burgeoned in the social sciences. Recently, a “relational turn” in political science was called for in a symposium in this journal (McClurg and Young, 2011). The participants perceived a promising path for such a “turn” by introducing social network analysis (SNA) into political science. This call is informed by a conviction that the central concept of political science— that is, power—isrelational. Considering this viewpoint, this article argues that there are two different understandings of the connection between the qualifier “relational” and the concept of power, referred to as the “Anglo-American” and the “Continental” perspectives. I contend that symposium participants conceived of the connection from only the Anglo-American perspective and that the Continental understanding would add extra value for political science.

Literary System

Although the film industry – like the literary system – can be described as a cultural system or field, systems theory remains largely unexplored in South African film studies, as does the more recent network theory. Systems theory and network theory both emphasise the relationships of an entity within a larger context, arguing that an entity should be studied within the relationships in which it functions. Recently, researchers have suggested that network theory can be integrated with polysystem theory to study the interactions between entities in the literary system. This article illustrates the potential of using social network analysis (SNA) as an investigative tool to identify and describe the role of an entity within the context of the film industry by focusing on one of the seminal Afrikaans film makers: Pierre de Wet. Pierre de Wet has been intricately involved with the beginnings of the Afrikaans film industry, collaborating with, amongst others, some of the most prolific film editors, producers,cinematographers and music composers. His major collaborators are highlighted as well as his central position in the Afrikaans film industry, taking into account the entire Afrikaans film industry from its origin to the contemporary period. The article also makes suggestions for further research.

Social Network Analysis (SNA) has become the most demanded relational approach in the field of basic science and applied science in the last 20 years. Researchers and professionals from traditional social, natural, and exact disciplines agree on the interest in what some identify as the paradigm across the field of traditional sciences problems. While SNA deepens and grows in its developments, analysis, and tools, the demand for courses of graduate and postgraduate academic training increases; as well as the instances of professional updating in both public and private development and management sectors. Based on the supposition that both sectors are related with research work trajectories rooted in institutional and current issues, in this work we aim to present the basic guidelines of our strategies for putting together courses about SNA. Considering three levels based on epistemological, methodological, and transference criteria for the resolution of problems, we propose five lines to be taken into consideration in order to know, develop and apply relational research. The procedures for the design of tools that will allow the collection and construction of databases or the identification of appropriate information for a study of SNA. The analytical path must be explained both in its complexity of combined methods and in the strategies for the identification of patterns as well as the construction of models. Finally, the problems and study frameworks, the research procedures, and the transference instances can be controlled and assessed by testing results and model approximation. Academic and professional training courses provide tools for the appreciation of SNA conceptual fields together with the approximation and delimitation of feasible empiric problems to be studied by SNA.

Digital Movement of Opinion (DMO) using hashtag #TrueBeauty on Twitter was conducted by the fans of True Beauty as one of the most popular Webtoon’s comic. The fans gave their opinion about the perfect cast for the movie adaption of the comic. The objective of this research is to analyse the network that was formed by the DMO of #TrueBeauty. The method that had been used was social network analysis and the datasets mining was done using Netlytic. This research indicates that fans as the actors of the DMO were spreaded widely across the network and not centralized into certain dominant actors. The actors was divided into different clusters and every cluster has its own characteristics based on different locations and cultures. Therefore the role of influencers or dominant actors in every cluster is very important to deliver opinions with a style that suits every community. Moreover, text analysis found that film industry should pay attention to social media opinion, because many of the opinion were reflects the original desires of every fan without any intermediaton from any parties.
