Anthony Cohen makes a distinct break with earlier approaches to the
study of community, which treated the subject in largely structural
terms. His view is interpretive and experiential, seeing the
community as a cultural field with a complex of symbols whose
meanings vary among its members. He delineates a concept applicable
to local and ethnic communities through which people see themselves
as belonging to society. The emphasis on boundary is sensitive to
the circumstances in which people become aware of the implications
of belonging to a community, and describes how they symbolise and
utilise these boundaries to give substance to their values and
identities.
