Samenvatting
Study of literary criticism from the perspective of social-psychological balance theory. This theory states that people tend to adjust their affections to affections expressed by or attributed to other people. As a result, affective relations display predictable patterns wich reflect group structure. Network analysis identifies these patterns and can be used to investigate group structure. Applied to Dutch literary criticism in the 1970s, balance theory models offer hard evidence that literary evaluations follow general, social-psychological rules for friendship formation and ranking. |
