ABSTRACT
Social networks provide mechanisms to represent and investigate different kinds of system like biological and social. In this work, our aim is to explore the characteristics of complex networks extracted from the books and movies of The Lord Of The Rings' Trilogy. We use centrality measures (e.g., PageRank, Betweenness, Weighted Degree) to identify influential characters and the Louvain's algorithm to identify social nuclei. The results show that the communities identified reflect the story's main nuclei, and that in the different source medias the characters identified as more influential remain the same. In addition, we make a parallel between the differences and similarities of books (in Portuguese and English) and movies.

Highlights- Type of friends affects building social capital via Facebook and traditional media.
AbstractFindings about Facebook's effect on relationships are mixed, possibly due to lack of models that acknowledge differences across users, types of their friends, and use of competing media. To address this, we proposed and tested how ...
