Title: A micro-, meso-, and macro-level descriptive analysis of disputes within a social network. A study of household relations in a Sri Lankan Community
Abstract: The A. attempts to reconcile three distinct levels of theoretical concern : the macro-, meso- and micro-level. He applies this method of analysis to a series of disputes among households in a Sri Lankan Muslim community, to examine where these approaches overlap and are redundant and also how different interpretations can result. At the micro-level, the focus is inevitably on praxis. At the meso-level, the anthropologist induces normative modeles of cultural from agreggated behavior. At the macro-level, formal analysis is used to analyze patterns of behavior and social motivations as derived from the structural positions of actors.
