社交网络在特定的时空结构中运行。本文开发了一个理论框架来理解社交网络在无家可归者中的作用。时空不连续性的概念被用来概念化无家可归对社交网络形成、日常路径、生活路径、个人身份和自尊的影响。对洛杉矶贫民窟无家可归妇女的人种学研究被用来说明理论框架。结果表明，无家可归妇女发展同伴和“居家”社交网络作为应对处境和重建时空连续性的手段。网络关系也可以替代家庭和工作等日常路径中的地点。社交网络和日常时空路径的特征似乎影响了无家可归妇女的身份和自尊。
Social networks operate within a specific time-space fabric. This paper develops a theoretical framework for understanding the role of social networks among the homeless. The concept of time-space discontinuity is offered as a way to conceptualize the impacts of homelessness on social network formation, daily paths, life paths, personal identity and self-esteem. Ethnographic research among homeless women in Skid Row, Los Angeles is used to illustrate the theoretical framework. Results indicate that homeless women develop both peer and “homed'’social networks as a means of coping with their circumstances and reestablishing time-space continuity. Network relationships can also serve as substitutes for place-based stations in the daily path such as home and work. The characteristics of social networks and daily time-space paths appear to have affected the identities and self-esteem of the homeless women.
