TLDR
The purpose of the network of researchers present in this seminar is to engage in a deliberate attempt to provide rigor and heuristic usefulness by developing network theory coming from various fields of research as discussed by the authors.Abstract:

The Network’s Blindspot : Exclusion, Exploitation and Marx’s Process-Relational Ontology
TL;DR: In this article, the authors recon-structs Marx's theory of exploitation from a common "process-relational ontology" that is shared by both network theorists and Marx, and demonstrate how Marx's materialization of process through 'production' and his understanding of relations as 'internal' and 'contradictory' lead him not into an inclusion/exclusion cul- de-sac but rather to a critique of exploitation writ large.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors kritisieren, dass der Netzwerkbegriff vor allem rhetorisch strapaziert wird, um unterschiedliche soziale Phanomene zu beschreiben, ohne jedoch deren Plausibilitat zu prufen oder eine konzeptionelle Fundierung vorzunehmen.
