Abstract: Abstract Until now, we have looked only at complete social networks of dramas. These complete networks describe all “social interactions” between all characters in dramas. We model these interactions in graphs such as the AB and ABA graphs (see Chap. 2 ). These social networks capture the social structure of the societies in the respective dramas. We now change gears, and zoom in on social networks of particular individual nodes or characters on the actor level in a social network. These personal networks of individual nodes are called Ego networksEgo network Network, ego (see [40] for an early use of the term and concept). An Ego network contains a focal node and all nodes which are directly connected to the focal node. The edges in the Ego network are all the edges which connect all nodes belonging to the Ego network. The Ego network is a subgraph, a concept which is defined in Sect. 2.5.4 .
