Abstract

This study aims to identify social networks, specifically nets of work and trustability, among stallholders in a clothing fair. It is a qualitative research, using observation, interviews and content analysis to interpret the collected data. It also uses techniques to map relational and structural characteristics of social networks. The results showed the existence of work and trustability nets in the daily interactions among the fair stallholders, set into action through social capital, exercising an important arrangement in the everyday ordering of their work. Social networks involve family and friendship ties in addition to paid-work relationships. The study pointed out the development of helpful relations and reciprocity among fair stallholders from different stands, featuring a counterpoint to the experiences of individualism and social fragmentation existing in the culture of flexible capitalism.

Keywords: Social networks. Work. Trustability. Informality.
