Abstract
Locality studies opened up important new avenues of research but also provoked as yet unanswered questions. One of these concerns is precisely the specificity of locality as distinct from its generic formation by larger social forces. Local social structures, the territorialization of politics and the appeal of “community” are elements explored in seeking to pin down the nature of local specificity.Keywords
