The Typology of Community: A Case Study Analysis of Three Intentional Communities Abstract Typological schemes like those produced by Emile Durkheim and Ferdinand Tönnies have been used to classify human groups in an evolutionary spectrum ranging from the simple to the complex. Though the typological approach was foundational to further development of the western social sciences it is seldom used to examine what might be termed “simple” societies in the modern day. This study aims to apply the contributions of the two theorists listed above to the concept of the modern intentional community. Although these communities comprise an eclectic and diverse social phenomenon, their characteristic small populations and other features make them intriguing subjects for the application of theoretical concepts previously reserved for earlier cultural groups existing peripheral to the developed state.

  • Governing the Egalitarian Core of the Internet
    International Journal of Communications Law & Policy Special Issue Global Flow of Information, Autumn 2005 GOVERNING THE EGALITARIAN CORE OF THE INTERNET ∗ By Christoph Engel ∗∗ ABSTRACT Few would claim that regulators, or academics working on regulatory policy, have neglected the Internet. However, most of their work is attracted by the global character of the Internet. Admit- tedly, this is a serious challenge to regulation, but it is not the only, and probably not even the most disquieting one. In the regulatory discourse, short shrift is given to the fact that the Internet originated in the egalitarian culture of American university computer labs. Its architecture was shaped during that period. Up to the present day, many key functions for Internet management are held by people coming from that culture. This paper argues that the egalitarian challenge to Internet governance has been largely over- looked. The challenge is serious, but not unmanageable. Nevertheless, regulators must use appro- priate concepts to understand the challenge. A subfield of sociology, cultural theory, is particularly instrumental for that purpose. In order to address the challenge, regulators must use a set of gov- ernance tools that deviates considerably from standard regulatory responses. INTRODUCTION The Problem Regulators are not good at multi-tasking. Admittedly, no one would claim that regulators have neglected the Internet. After all, there is a flurry of regulatory activity all over the world, 1 and an almost intractable amount of academic work on Internet-related subjects. 2 Most of this work is driven by the global character of the Internet. Admittedly, this poses a serious challenge to regulation,3 but it is not the only one, and probably not even the most disquieting one.

  • The Commune Movement During the 1960S and the 1970S in Britain, Denmark and The
    The Commune Movement during the 1960s and the 1970s in Britain, Denmark and the United States Sangdon Lee Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of History September 2016 i The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement ⓒ 2016 The University of Leeds and Sangdon Lee The right of Sangdon Lee to be identified as Author of this work has been asserted by him in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 ii Abstract The communal revival that began in the mid-1960s developed into a new mode of activism, ‘communal activism’ or the ‘commune movement’, forming its own politics, lifestyle and ideology. Communal activism spread and flourished until the mid-1970s in many parts of the world. To analyse this global phenomenon, this thesis explores the similarities and differences between the commune movements of Denmark, UK and the US. By examining the motivations for the communal revival, links with 1960s radicalism, communes’ praxis and outward-facing activities, and the crisis within the commune movement and responses to it, this thesis places communal activism within the context of wider social movements for social change. Challenging existing interpretations which have understood the communal revival as an alternative living experiment to the nuclear family, or as a smaller part of the counter-culture, this thesis argues that the commune participants created varied and new experiments for a total revolution against the prevailing social order and its dominant values and institutions, including the patriarchal family and capitalism.

  • Community Action: a Framework for Egalitarian, Reciprocal Community Engagement in the Field of Rhetoric and Composition
    Community Action: A Framework for Egalitarian, Reciprocal Community Engagement in the Field of Rhetoric and Composition by Paul T. Feigenbaum A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the degree requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English and Education) in The University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Professor Anne R. Gere, Co-Chair Associate Professor Carla O’Connor, Co-Chair Professor William R. Alexander Professor John C. Burkhardt Associate Professor Paula Mathieu, Boston College University © Paul T. Feigenbaum 2008 Acknowledgments First and foremost, I want to thank my wife Bayan for all her support during this extended process. My writing the dissertation occurred while she was making a huge transition from life in Uzbekistan to life in America, and she made this transition with incredible grace and patience. She also sacrificed much time and energy in helping me finish! My parents, William and Janice, have provided more support than can possibly be detailed here. There are countless reasons why this dissertation would not have happened if not for them, extending far beyond the specific detail of their having given me birth! I would like to spend some time reflecting on and thanking the five members of my dissertation committee. I first met my Co-Chair Anne Gere in 1999. Her course on composition theory opened up a world for me, an entire discipline I had known little about, one that would quickly become more exciting and intellectually stimulating for me than the work I was doing in literary criticism. Then Anne proved incredibly supportive in allowing me to transition from Language and Literature to English and Education.

A social 'consciousness' that lacks ecological consciousness will inevitably corrupt and disintegrate. Just as the system has led the social crisis into chaos, so has the environment begun to send out S.O.S. signals in the form of life-threatening catastrophes. Cancer-like cities, polluted air, the perforated ozone layer, the rapidly accelerating extinction of animal and plant species, the destruction of forests, the pollution of water by waste, piling up mountains of rubbish and unnatural population growth have driven the environment into chaos and insurrection. It's all about maximum profit, regardless of how many cities, people, factories, transportation, synthetic materials, polluted air and water our planet can handle. This negative development is not fate. It is the result of an unbalanced use of science and technology in the hands of power.

  • 103 2010 Crowell the Valley Alliance of Worker Cooperatives
    The Valley Alliance of Worker Co-operatives: Exploring the Potential of Co-op Led Development By Erbin L. Crowell ([email protected]) Updated Version, 1st September 2010 The original version of this paper was completed in May of 2009 and served as the final management audit for completion of the Master of Management: Co-operatives and Credit Unions, St. Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA, B3H 3C3 (www.mmccu.coop) © Erbin L. Crowell, 2010 A Preface & Introduction This report is somewhat personal in that, while I know many of the people involved in the Valley Alliance of Worker Co-operatives,1 I feel that more of an introduction is appropriate so that members have more of a sense of my background and perspective. During the process of developing our pilot project, Adam Trott (Collective Copies’ representative to the Alliance) and I were able to visit almost all of the co- ops involved in the Alliance. Members were not only very welcoming, but also equally free with their enthusiasm for what we were presenting as they were in sharing their concerns. As someone who worked for many years within the community of a worker co-op, I am deeply appreciative of this openness. This report is also the final project for my Master of Management: Co-operatives and Credit Unions (MMCCU) from St. Mary’s University and is highly personal in another sense. This program has spanned three years when many aspects of my life shifted dramatically. Perhaps most notable, my wife and I had a son. This may be profound enough a change, and perhaps it is not all that uncommon that such an experience would also push one toward a new level of thinking.

  • Chapter 4 a Destination Beyond Capitalism: Socialism As Economic Democracy
    Chapter 4 A destination beyond capitalism: socialism as economic democracy Draft 2.1 Started June 21, 2016 November 2017 draft It is always simpler to criticize the existing state of affairs than to propose a credible alternative. This is why the names for social protest movements so often have the prefix “anti.” Anti-war mobilizations oppose a war. Anti-austerity protests oppose budget cuts. Anti-globalization protests oppose the neoliberal policies of global capitalist integration with rules favorable to multinational corporations and global finance. And even when a movement is named by its positive aspirations – the civil rights movement, the environmental movement, the women’s movement – the demands are often framed primarily as the end to something: the end to Jim Crow laws; the end to housing discrimination; the end to racial profiling by police; the end to gender discrimination in employment; the end to restrictions of marriage to heterosexual couples; the end to fracking. The issue here is not that the people involved in such movements do not have strong commitments to positive values or hopes for a very different kind of social world. The 1960s Civil Rights movement in the United States deeply embodied the emancipatory values of equality, democracy and community. The problem is that it is much more difficult to formulate unifying demands around positive alternatives than around dismantling existing oppressive arrangements. In the U.S. Civil Rights Movement, it was clear what it meant to demand the end of segregation laws; it was much less clear what it meant to demand new policies and inclusive institutions that would provide good jobs for everyone, end poverty, and empower ordinary people.
