from Andrew Perrin:
Nan Lin, _Social Capital: A Theory of Social
Structure and Action_ (Cambridge UP, 2001)
(Lin is in sociology at Duke, and this represents the network-analysis
take on social capital. Relatively technical, but very well grounded
with important empirical repercussions.)
Portes, Alejandro. Social Capital: Its Origins
and Applicationsin Modern Sociology. Annual Review of Sociology 24(
1998)
(An excellent overview of the history and use of the concept of social
capital.)
Portes, Alejandro. "The Two Meanings of Social
Capital."
Sociological Forum, 15(1):1-12. 2000
(Portes argues here that sociologists have used social capital in
twovery different ways: one in which it is a resource that accrues to
individuals, the other that accrues to groups and communities. Very
useful, IMHO.)
Ferdinand Tonnies's classic, _Gemeinschaft und
Gesellschaft_
(Community and Society) is out in a new translation on Cambridge
(http://www.cup.org/ObjectBuilder/ObjectBuilder.iwx?ProcessName=ProductPage&Merchant_Id=1&product_id=0-521-56782-3&origin=search&searchField=ALL&searchString=0521567823).
This is the classic sociological work on the distinction between
community and society.
Benedict Anderson's classic _Imagined
Communities_ isreally great for problematizing what communities are.
One of the main findingsis that the invention of the newspaper is
central to the invention of community,which might be particularly
interesting for you. One way to look at thisbook is the claim that
technologies -- newspapers, museums, censuses, maps--serve to construct
the ways communities are imagined.
