  Forms of communities in modern era – The mechanisms of a construct

  Gemeinschaftsformen der Moderne – Mechanismen eines Konstrukts

  In the centre of this interdisciplinary workshop are above all the processes of communalization of imagined communities. How different these processes are can be presented through different examples for imagined communities. Nations (Anderson) aim to unite a homogeneous group with the same language, religion or culture. International organisations as well as transnational movements or networks share ideals, but also strive for concrete political and social goals. These processes may also be seen in the Nazi Volksgemeinschaftenwhich demanded the subordination of the individual for the benefit of the collective body, and thereby promised the fulfilment of individual happiness.
