Description: Drawing on a wide range of social theory as well as empirical inputs from studies of work neighbourhoods events meeting places and online self - help groups this book suggests that communal forms are constructed on the basis of communicative material biographic - cultural practice - based and situational layers. The concept of community has long provided an important point of departure for the discipline of sociology with the conflicting conceptions of community before and into modernity embodied in Ferdinand T nnies Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft and in Emile D rkheim's Mechanical and Organic Solidarity providing the focus for debate. Other contributors have maintained an interest in communities as communions interactional competencies symbolic identification tribal connection and more recently communication. Drawing on such theoretical contributions as well as empirical inputs the authors develop a more nuanced concept of community based on the notion that it is constructed from several different layers. This concept is then presented as a sociological toolbox with which to fuel approaches to examining societal challenges and change. Providing a fresh approach to a core sociological question that also has a wider societal relevance Communal Forms will be of interest to scholars and students concerned with social issues and for those with a more general interest in community society and its development over time.
