Abstract

Resumo Neste breve trabalho, procuramos apresentar de maneira didática alguns fundamentos da chamada teoria de redes [network theory], mais especificamente os conceitos de “efeito de mundo pequeno”, “componente gigante” e “percolação”, que auxiliam no entendimento do rápido alastramento da pandemia do novo coronavírus. Enquanto teoria organizada com base no diálogo entre diferentes disciplinas, como a física, a matemática, a biologia e a própria sociologia, reputamos fundamental ampliar o contato dos cientistas sociais com os principais conceitos e achados empíricos desse campo transdisciplinar.Abstract In this brief work, we try to present in a didactic way some fundamentals of the so-called network theory, more specifically the concepts of “small world effect”, “giant component” and “percolation”, which help in understanding the fast spread of the new coronavirus pandemic. As a theory organized based on dialogue between different disciplines, such as physics, mathematics, biology and sociology itself, we believe it is essential to expand the contact of social scientists with the main concepts and empirical findings in this transdisciplinary field.
