OBERG, Lurdes Perez. The concept of community: problematizations from community psychology. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.2, pp.709-728. ISSN 1808-4281.

The objective of this paper is to propose a discussion of the concept of community, from a historical and political perspective. It is understood also that community psychology brings this debate in the 70s, promoting scientific and professional practice activities in contexts considered as peripheral. Initially, we will present community in its historical dimension, citing authors of classical sociology. Secondly, we will discuss about the inclusion of this concept in community social psychology and finally, we question forms of community present in contemporary times, taking Bauman and Castells, as references. It is expected to contribute to a non-unifying vision of social ties and that  this study achieve professional practices to consider in relation subjectivity and objectivity, individuality and collectivity, one walk for an ethical-political perspective in psychology.

Keywords : community; community psychology; professional practices.
