Comodificarea turistică a comunităţilor "neatinse", prin lentila antropologică
The rural community seen from the perspective of its residents and local administration
Ana Maria Mintici (Şendruc)*
*SNSPA
Abstract: Through this article I try to offer an insight into the changes of the rural communities in Romania, under the influence of tourism. In order to sustain my point of view, I will bring into discussion a case study - Măgura village in Braşov County. In the theoretical framework of tourism anthropology, commodification is often brought about - the transformation of a culture, or a place, in a commercial product. Tourism entrepreneurs often search for authenthic culture, unspoiled nature, and rather isolated communities, to offer a concept of a "eco life" to their clients. This "eco life" is commodified, and when tourists buy a holiday package, they actually buy the illusion of a lifestyle. However, the implication of tourism in communities is not without consequences: positive as well as negative. The entrepreneurs and the locals often perceive differently the situation created by the impact of tourism. The main questions. I address in this paper are: What is the impact of tourism on the receiver communities? Or otherwise said: Is there arising a "colonisation" of the locals phenomenon by the urban entrepreneurs or we should rather see impact as the alteration of the local culture and economy? I will also address the problem of local identity change through commodification of nature and local specific, exemplifing etnographically the way a rural community changes - Măgura.

Comunităţi umane. Tradiţii sociologice
Human communities. Sociological traditions
Maria Larionescu*
*University of Bucharest
Abstract: Human communities. Sociological traditions. The article discusses the evolution of the "human community" concept, from a substantial understanding to a functionalist understanding. The analysis focuses on two partially overlapping models: the community-society typology elaborated by F. Tonnies (and its critique by R. Boudon) and the model of integrated development of rural communities, elaborated by D. Gusti. The comparative study of the two models highlights two Gustian innovations in relation to Tonnies' model: the integrative moral dimension, and the conception of the community as a synthesis of the substantial and the functional dimension. The main hypotheses that have guided the rural monographical research of the Bucharest School of sociology are discussed with reference to their current relevance for community development projects.
Keywords: Community, society, moral involvement, informal social control, rural mononography, community development.
Cuvinte cheie: comunitate, societate, implicare morală, control social informal, cercetări monografice de sate, dezvoltare comunitară.
