communalism  

Definición

  • Communalism refers to a range of diverse perspectives, theories, and movements in which social change is founded in the redevelopment of community as a site of close, personal, face-to-face relationships as opposed to the anonymity and impersonal character of industrial capitalist society. One of the most influential early notions of communalism can be found in the works of German sociologist Ferdinand Tönnies, who presented the community as an alternative to the cold calculation of market-based society (Gesellschaft) that was replacing the close ties of rural life (Gemeinschaft).
