Resumo: The Social Sciences have theoretical and methodological dilemmas that built a fruitful debate. Issues such as structure/action and micro/macro are examples of challenges that are difficult to overcome. Among a range of elaborations which seek to answer these dilemmas, the theoretical/ methodological conception of Social Network Analysis (SNA) presents itself as one of the aspects with the grand capacity to generate new debates on overcoming dichotomies. At the same time, SNA builds new paths of understanding social reality and its relational dynamics. In this sense, the dossier presents works that contribute to the advancement of reflection involving ARS, especially in its interdisciplinary character. Furthermore, the dossier contributes to the social sciences field by analyzing diverse empirical phenomena.
