Notes for first day of class: Install Proxy Server in my computer • Gives you license to al UC information, lit, magazines, books, articles

Kinship and Complexity: This is not your typical class on kinship. We now live in a network society made possible by computers and the Internet. You are probably by now on Face book, Linked In, and a dating site, using Skye video, ipod, iPhone or Samsung’s unlocked Instinct, and you are viewing this syllabus on a MediaWiki site that allows you to use it and freely edit and create pages just link Wikipedia. Computers and the Internet have also transformed anthropology, network sciences and social network analysis (SNA) and the social sciences. There are between 10 and 100 million “nodes” in the world’s computerized GED (genealogical) files so the world’s kinship networks are now a new object of study. Although information on living persons has Human Subjects protection, vast amounts of historical data and data on public figures are available in the public domain. While government and finance institutions have confidential data on you, you have data on corporate and government officials, • and regulations governing financial institutions are open book to the FBI and regulatory agencies – 50 of the firms that potential offenders in the current financial catastrophe are under investigation as of this week. Data to study the “genealogy” of the present crisis (like players in the Wikipedia:Keating Five scandal that carry over to the current one) is now available. “Genealogies” cover both descent (“same” players, “parents”, and “ancestors”) and lateral alliances (from sharing board of director memberships to business partnerships, to sponsorships, to political and business “alliances” and actual marriages).

You are connected though about 10,000-100,000,000 people in one gene pool • Genealogy is not vertical • Kinship not in family, but it powerful ties between people

• Incredible shrinking middle class
• Virgil Griffith (NNDB)

Assignment 1- • Go to NNDB • It is our right to talk about things that are happening, issues that are going on and who is doing what o http://wikiscanner.virgil.gr/

Sleuthing - carry out a search or investigation in the manner of a detective 

• Griffin gave top ten young hackers: o http://intersci.ss.uci.edu/wiki/index.php/Top_young_hackers o People who were committing the crimes were editing out there crimes, Virgil kept o record of there history which proved the cover up

• Part of the research is not believing everything you read, look at the source

• Use of information is important

Go to NNDB- go to Kean scandal • Cohesion on each side

Week 1: Mapping people, positions, politics, families and networks What is NNDB: NNDB is an intelligence aggregator that tracks the activities of people we have determined to be noteworthy, both living and dead.

Use NNDB to map out people and their overlap networks. • The NNDB Mapper is a visual tool for exploring the connections between people (those in NNDB for "a "Who's Who" where a noted person's curriculum vitae is available (the usual information such as date of birth, a biography, and other essential facts)", linking them together through family relations, corporate boards, movies and TV, political alliances, etc. o "A person's otherwise inexplicable behavior is often understood by examining the crowd that person has been associating with." Maps can be saved and shared for others to explore.

Login, save and explain what you have found in the description box, then copy the URL of your map and put the Nndb url here along with your name and for credit. 

You cannot analyze the structure of your network or save to another format so this is mostly a trial exercise with networks (of elites) but you can move vertices of the graph, expand, prune, click nodes, and organize to discover properties of the graph. Hand in your graph and your write up on what you found as well as posting to the Nndb url page. • Short description about what is happening- 1pg written and small box on site description. • Who is cohesive, who is not o Alcoholic is a great cohesive agent o See what cultural traditions have passed on • Ex: French trappers • Ex: Rick Salomen in class example
