  SCIENCE IS SOCIAL RELATIONS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
The social relations of such institutions are the social relations of the society; so also are the things and therapies with which they are concerned.

 ALIENATION: SOCIAL RELATIONS AND THERAPEUTIC RELATIONS
I want now to relate this to a more political theorising, and to suggest that this redistribution of a kind of capital is natural enough in a society where there is a class structure in which one class does accumulate wealth and another class which accumulate poverty (alienation).
In early capitalism, social relations were arranged around the alienation of the machine worker in the factory; and the accumulation by capital with the employer and capitalist.
People operate interpersonally (and therefore in their ‘ensemble of social relations’) in a manner that is quite at variance from the rhetoric of autonomy and democracy as proclaimed by liberal democracies.

 American Journal of Economics and Sociology, The: Collateralized Social Relations: The Social in Economic Calculation
SOCIAL SCIENTISTS OF VARIOUS PERSUASIONS, however much they may have disagreed about some matters, historically have shared the assumption that advanced capitalism required the movement away from the entanglements of traditional social relations to the impersonal, individuated relations we associate with modern economies in the West.
In particular, we are arguing against that tradition that dichotomizes the social and the economic, a disciplinary division of labor that place s rational commercial activity under the purview of economics, while sociology and the other social sciences are properly concerned with the irrational impulses that constitute political activity and the balance of social life.
We link the rational choice notion of social capital, a social resource inherent in relationships that may be used to pursue economic ends (Coleman 1988; Burt 1992) with constructionist concepts of culture as a strategic "tool kit" for action (Swidler 1986), and social relations as "economic" (Wiseman 1979; Hochschild 1979; Clark 1987).

 The Social Dimensions of Scientific Knowledge
Study of the social dimensions of scientific knowledge encompasses the effects of scientific research on human life and social relations, the effects of social relations and values on scientific research, and the social aspects of inquiry itself.

 Intentional relations and social understanding   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
The understanding of intentional relations that results at this level is one involving diversity in the intentional orientations of different agents to a common directly accessible situation (though it may be a "pretend" situation).
A simple form of such sharing of intentional relations occurs when an organism is a member of a group and responds to the perceived third person aspects of the intentional relations of others by adopting the same intentional relation itself.
Insofar as intentional relations of others can be understood based on perceived properties of objects and the contingent relations of other monkeys to those objects, or, in other words, from a third person perspective, these monkeys seem highly skilled in anticipating the actions of others based on these relations.

 Robert H. Gault: Psychology in Social Relations   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
I shall in the first place mention a group of outstanding phenomena which students of the psychology of social relations are interested in describing and explaining, and in the second place I shall discuss two problems that by common consent are regarded as the large problems of social psychology.
In all these relations the individual behaves differently when he is alone, apart from the group, and the crowd, audience, or mob is therefore assumed by many students—notice that I say assumed—to be in its psychological quality more than the sum of its parts, or at least different from the sum of its parts.
Still other phenomena of the psychology of social relations are customs and conventionalities and public opinion; their development and again their break-up under the influence of the inventor of devices and of theories; conflicts among customs and conventionalities, and their settlement by discussion, authority, and other means.

 The State, Property Relations and Social Transformation
Yet, as a concentrated expression of social relations, as an institution wielding enormous power and resources, the state is for this reason the most critical area of contestation among classes: transfer of state power is thus characterised as the most visible and critical expression of a revolution.
Related to this are the activities of trans-national crime syndicates whose activities, including money laundering and drug trafficking, by definition thrive in a situation in which the state is weak.

 Revolution Betrayed: Chapter 9
This means in essence that socialist relations are not as yet embodied in the real relations among men, but dwell in the benevolent heart of the authorities.
If these as yet wholly new relations should solidify, become the norm and be legalized, whether with or without resistance from the workers, they would, in the long run, lead to a complete liquidation of the social conquests of the proletarian revolution.
In contrast to this, the property relations which issued from the socialist revolution are indivisibly bound up with the new state as their repository.

 Korea - Social Relations   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
From early childhood, children played and grew up segregated by gender as illustrated in the adage: "Boys and girls at the age of seven should not be allowed to sit in the same room."

Women's behavior was dictated by the law of the three obediences: obeisance to the father before marriage, to the husband upon marriage, and to the son after the husband's death.
Female submission to male authority was not due to the perception of innate female weakness or inadequacy; rather, it had to do with the strict separation of social spheres in the organization of society.

 The Social Relations Determined by Capital
These two relations everywhere interpenetrate and mutually determine one another, albeit in an external way, not being “determinations of a single essence.” The only way I know of dealing with a mixture of this kind, is to examine first one and then the other, and then the struggle between the two.
Both these relations have an historical trajectory of their own, which deserves attention, but within bourgeois society, we see that their role is being inexorably undermined and destroyed by market relations.
