FRAGA, Eugenia. La pregunta por lo comunitario en el ensayo sociológico contemporáneo: Esencia y apariencia, ética y estética, racionalidad y afectividad. Rev. Pilquen. secc. cienc. soc. [online]. 2016, vol.19, n.3, pp.8-19. ISSN 1851-3123.

In this paper we intend to seek the ways in which the "question of community" was answered by a series of contemporary thinkers of the social. We will focus on the concepts of Lash's "shared meanings", Maffesoli's "tribes", Sennett's "pronoun we", and Bauman's "ethical community". After analyzing these concepts, we will arrive to the conclusion that, in contemporary social thought, "community" is defined by at least three axes: a) essence / appearance; b) ethics / aesthetics; and c) rationality / affectivity. All in all, we will be able to see that these three can be understood as some of the dimensions of community in present times.

Palabras clave : Community; We; Tribes; Ghetto; Identity.
