- Title
Re-Placing the Space of Community: A Story of Cultural Politics, Policies, and Fisheries Management1.

- Abstract
This article focuses on how communities interface with economics and its implications. Getting communities involved in resource management has seen increasing attention from a variety of disciplines. Within anthropology, sociology, geography, political science--even in the natural sciences and policy circles--grassroots perspectives have been argued essential to developing new frameworks built on local knowledge and institutions. This focus on community seems to imply a building interest in how participatory, 'anthropological' ideas might lead to new liberation ecologies. Indeed, despite early modernists' dire predictions and postmodernism's traveling predilections, notions of community figure prominently in identity politics and debates. This relevance has enabled the idea of community to play a polysemous role in challenging the privileging of time over space in social theory. But the concern here is the re-constitution of community in a policy world dominated by particular notions of the subject, rationality, and space and place. This concern speaks directly to tensions in anthropology stemming from the tug and pull between history and geography in time- and place-specific ethnographies.
