The Sociology of Social Communities in George Em. Marica' s Approach. The Village

Summary/Abstract: The Sociology of Social Communities in George Em. Marica' s Approach. The Village. In the context of the social science that we practice today, in contemporary Romania, we thought that now, more than ever, is time for looking back at our roots in sociology and fulfill the missing links in our scientific tradition. We can see there many things, which are now in the top of international debates around the world, unused for long decades and even forgotten in our space of knowledge. One example is the marvelous work of George Em. Marica which, with more then fifty years ago, wrote about the relation between scientist and his subject of investigation, about new methodological ways of research, and, not in the last instance, about attempts to discover that "thing" that is the essence of social communities, in this particular case the "soul" of the village. His experience, which I have already mentioned, can help us today to reach the core of theoretically issues that are now on the market and understand them. Rather than summarize my paper I will prefer to say that until we will put the light on our ancestors' s work and show their contribution we will not be full connected with the real meaning of science.
