The Role of Ethnographic Records for Reconceiving a Sense of Place for Local Communities

This article addresses the issue of reproducing local communities through intentional activities, through the reinterpretation of shared history and the reconstruction of social life within a devasted environment. The ethnographic records help us define the local community not as spatio-temporal continuity of life in actual places but as conceptual settings within which all human actions are meaningful, i.e. constructed in relation to the Other, most often to the newcomers.
