Summary
How did networks develop over time, how are relationships from different life periods articulated today, how does the structure of the network evolve? By observing, in particular, how links aggregate and how they dissociate from each other, how they merge into social circles, or, on the contrary, tend to break free from them, the authors identify some processes of network evolution. These dynamics show their sensitivity to the impact of certain events, particularly during transitions to adulthood.
