About The Book

<p>'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.</p> 1 Reconceptualizing community 2 The mining community and the ageing body: Towards a phenomenology of community? 3 Community as place-making: Ram auctions in the Scottish borderland 4 Cultural islands in the globalizing world: Communitcum-locality of the Cieszyn Silesian Lutherans 5 Community beyond place: Adoptive families in Norway 6 ‘Have you been to Hayward Field?’: Children’s sport and the construction of community in suburban Canada 7 The ethnographic field revisited: Towards a study of common and not so common fields of belonging 8 Post-cultural anthropology: The ironization of values in a world of movement 9 Epilogue
