Abstract:
'Community' is so overused both in everyday language as well as in scholarly work that it could easily be dismissed as a truism. However, the persistence of the term itself shows that the idea continues to resonate powerfully in our daily lives, ethnographic accounts as well as theoretical analyses. This book returns a timely and concerted anthropological gaze to community as part of a broader consideration of contemporary circumstances of social affiliation and solidarity.Over the last twenty years, community as an idea has overtaken community as social interaction in a number of influential works. However, without elucidation the actual social relations in which the idea of community is realized, it is difficult to account for the emotions it calls forth. Thus, while the essays in the book acknowledge the conceptual, imagined dimension of the construction of communities, they also seek to re-embed their accounts of commnity in a social context.
