The project „Together at Foisor” has brought an experiment of community development in the area which gave its name, and it represents the beginning of a long term process, in which, hopefully, in the time the local authorities will be involved together with NGO’s. For the time being the success of this project can be measured less in quantifiable results and more in what is usually named ‘best practice’. Which is not at all little. This article represents a personal point of view on the necessity to extend and to deepen this experiment and on a possible way of community life in a well-known and architecturally valuable urban milieu in Bucharest. We have to mention that a significant number of persons live by the Foisor, people who were born and lived surrounded by the same neighborhood, and the sadly remembered demolitions did not affect the district too much. At the same time, we have to remark the involvement of the women in the community development, their special role as guardians of traditional values and also of bringing up the new things in the life of the family and of the community. In this context, the Society for Feminist Analysis AnA makes a big step forward in building a real partnership and a durable dialog among all the actors involved in everyday life of the area.

AnA carried out a Phare community building micro project for a year. I must start by a confession: we proposed the project because we felt the topic is fashionable and has a chance to be selected. As a nongovernmental organization continuously searching for funds we can tell the key words imposed from abroad. The topic was a challenge for us as well. AnA Is mostly a documentation center, a research group for gender issues and feminism. To get out of the library and schools and "practice" feminism was a first time for us, too.

For the author, communitarism appears as an extremely new (although with old roots) political and social doctrine whose main preoccupations are forming and structuring communities, as public actors (submitted inside for the common good) in connection to a communitarian state capable of organizing and refereeing the dynamics of such a community. The interior of these communities is grounded on free association of individuals in view of obtaining the common good, accepted by all as main aim of forming the community. The internal values of the community are respect towards the others and mutual help offered among the members of the community, as well as to other individuals outside it. Towards the state all communities have equal rights and responsibilities, and the abstract sum of the communities represents the historic community-the people or the nation. The communities defend the rights and support the demands of its members towards the state, and through specific methods control the state, accepting at the same time its policies.

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.

An article dwells upon the unique experience of gold-diggers’ life based on the principles of gender segregation and male community. The settlement established on Chinese territory in 1883 was founded by those who wanted to receive the so-called «hot-money». Diggers lived far from their families, children, relatieves. As a result their «everyday life», their personal values and philosophy was different from other’s. The settlement of fugitive convicts and hired people of all types (where lived more than 10 000 people) transformed into economic and cultural centre of South Siberia. The article focuses on this phenomena.
