Abstract
Classic and contemporary sociologists have made a distinction between community/society and society/ community as a passage (in one or other direction) produced in a historic moment, which is interpreted like a crisis of what was established and an emergency of something new still to be defined. In these cases, the idea of community becomes the conceptual operator that gathers diverse references and enables the attribution of some sort of meaning to the observed. Hence, this "community idea" seems to acquired the shape of a social self-description of the present which is articulated, unavoidably, with the perception of its future possibilities.
