Personal Networks in Disaster Contexts. The case of Colombia, 2010-2011
 |
An individual is defined, in part, by his or her connections to others. When an individual loses such connections, he or she experiences a displacement of personhood and enters in a geographical, political and social space of redefinition. In this sense, victims of natural disasters often lose the connections they had created within their native social system and face the daunting need to re-establish a life, a task that requires them to rebuild the personal networks that have been fractured by the disaster. In this blog post I want to explore how a network analysis help us to understand such a reality.
