Abstract
Two recent forces validate and construct old notions of community. One is the ancestral tradition that turns the community into a cultural value that belongs to the people. To people, the community operates as a collective “I” that mobilizes all sorts of energies. The other is the community’s presence in both modern social thought and in state discourse set on confronting popular demands. The first force is based on social and political utopias, and the second force is a governability referent. Can the community play a role in the urban popular resistance movement, at the crossing of these two forces?
