Right—the “network‑making power” Castells analyzed was specific to the Occupy era he directly experienced. Once practices are institutionalized, you can’t analyze them only with networking power or network‑making power. I sometimes describe a different lens: a care framework—attentiveness, responsibility, competence, responsiveness, solidarity, and so on. It’s a different angle. Network theory analyzes power ; care theory analyzes relational health . They’re dual perspectives: one puts nodes (individuals) first‑class; the other puts edges (relationships) first‑class. From a relational view, individuals are intersections of the relations that inhabit us—which is the view I advocate in the book I call Plurality .
