Summary/Abstract: The article presents some of the results of a case study on two villages in Transylvania, T\lm\cel and Ludo[, from Sibiu County. The article focuses on the theme of collective identity, analyzing empirical variables – proposed by the author – that reflect the ways of identifying with the community of the people in the two villages. Data analyzed resulted from a survey in the two villages, using a bi-stadial sample, and semi-focalised interviews with key-persons from the two villages’ elite. Results show differences in the way people from T\lm\cel and Ludo[ identify themselves with their communities and the article tries to explain these differences.
