This article aims at understanding theplurality of meanings assigned to the “community”
in the sisal region from two points of departure: the
community is firstly considered as a space-time for-
med at the beginning of the 1970’s, marking the be-
ginning of a process of social mobilization; it is then
understood as a locality, for processes of social mo-
bilization happen within the geographical space of
the farm, which gradually coincides with the com-
munity, and then becomes not only a reference of
“social work”, but also a place. It is thus possible to
suppose a road leading from “farm” to “communi-
ty”, as a process of production of a new space-time.
The analysis of the meanings of “community” in the
region is based on the narratives of its oldest inhabi-
tants, as well as of community leaders and advocates
of the Rural Evangelization Movement (MER) who
have been active in the region since the 1970’s.
