Abstract
This paper presents, from an introductory point of view and oriented to non-experts in network theory, the fundamentals of graphs and networks that allow projecting information about cultural networks in a formal context. It also describes some of the most common measures and tools to design quantitative mechanisms for the subsequent analysis of these networks. This article does not pretend to be a complete course or tutorial on network theory, for that the reader can refer to any of the references listed at the end, but rather it is an introduction oriented to go through, in a single document, some of the details that are considered more important and that are usually left out of the initial explanations on the subject.
