This session explores the intersection of culture and social networks, focusing on how cultural phenomena both shape and are shaped by social networks. We invite research examining the role of culture in network formation and maintenance, the cultural dynamics within networks, and how networks influence the creation and diffusion of cultural products. We welcome contributions from various disciplines, including sociology, business, anthropology, and communication studies. The session will feature both theoretical and empirical research.

We encourage studies across different scales, from large-scale creative industries to more localised networks. Topics may include:

– The influence of social networks on the production and dissemination of cultural products within creative industries, such as film, music, art, and digital media.

– How social networks within communities, organisations, and peer groups facilitate or constrain cultural practices and innovation.

– The impact of cultural norms, values, and practices on the functioning of social networks in diverse contexts.

This session aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue that enhances our understanding of how

social networks and culture co-evolve, shaping individual experiences and broader societal change.
