One of the best known theoretic contrapositions found today in Sociology, the one between Community and
Society (Tönnies), is becoming the subject of a deep reflection, for two main reasons. The first one, in the era
of economic and mediatic globalization, is due to the ‘desire for Community’ (Bauman), the Community of
belongings, exclusions, identities, and localism. The second one is due to the need to re-create new ethic
bonds, shared responsibilities, and democratic participation to solve the ‘common’ problems troubling the
World. These are problems from which the ancient system of sovereign states trapped in the grip of imperialistic,
ideological or nationalistic hegemonies offers no way out. In this perspective the Community, and first
of all the International one, does not represent a nostalgia, but a utopia. It is something not existing, but which
has to be built, and that is being built through manifold contributions of theories, analysis, experiences,
actions. The ‘fabric’ of the global village, which is today the Hearth, is developing through complicated
‘social wefts’, in which the dramaturgy and narration of the community seem to offer promising processes
and results.
