Abstract

Human communities are social entities. As such, they are both collective and particular. They are situated: one community is not the other. Space and time coordinates signal their finite existence as always-already being somewhere and at a given point in time. Communities do not encompass space and time; they are framed by them. Within time and space, communities develop multiple and multilayered identities, or cultures, which include norms and rules, languages and art forms, customs and rituals, economies and reactional activities, education and science, fashion and folklore, (his)stories and worldviews.
