Oameni la Foişor. Profil în majuscule
People at the Foişor. Profile in Capital Letters

Summary/Abstract: Together At Foisor contained a field research of approximately two weeks, the purpose being to see the extent to which one can assume that there is a Foisor community. This was done through obtaining some qualitative data (answers to questionnaires, interviews, participatory observation) and through crossed interpretation with quantitative data (furnished by General Department of Statistics of Bucharest). The priviledged perspective (both in the study and in the interpretation) was the gender one, the main partner being the women who live and /or work in this district. The problems of the people living here, the way in which they were mentioned, and especially the possible types of solutions show that, if a de facto community is not present (a community based on consecrated social institutions), the women in the district see the functioning of relationships of a community type as a kind of normality.
