Communitas is inspired fellowship; a group's pleasure in sharing common experiences; being 'in the zone' - as in music, sport, and work; the sense felt by a group when their life together takes on full meaning. The experience of Communitas, almost beyond strict definition and with almost endless variations, often appears unexpectedly.

. This article analyzes the phenomenon of co-existence: the analysis is focused on the study of theoretical and methodological preconditions of social integrity phenomenon research. Trends in the conceptual base of modern social theory focused on the research of social phenomenon, the study of the conditions and mechanisms for the development of sociality. This phenomenon is the basis of individual and social existence, condition of solving the problem of social integrity. Limited capacities of the political philosophy classical methodology in sociality analysis demonstrates the limits of this approach potential. Political philosophy reduces co-existence to one aspect of the policy field. In this connection, a purpose of this work is a study of nature, manifestations, and potential phenomenon community (communitas). The author also examines the impact of the totalitarian practices threat that its leads to the problem of personality existential duality in the modern society. In particular the study attracts attention to the situation of mainstreaming totalitarian desire «to have, to exploit». The desire «to have», in conflict desire «to be», is a major cause of growing problem of existential split personality. As a research methodology of the social integrity problem, the author uses the existential and anthropological approaches. These theoretical directions actualize the potential of the non-political communities. This methodological step reveals sociality a qualitatively different level of socio-cultural analysis as the practice to others reified. A scientific novelty of this work is to try to expand the heuristic possibilities of the sociality theory in terms of the analysis of the social integrity problems in order to create a comprehensive research methodology of the problem. Conclusions. Thus, the study of the community potential, its mechanisms and the logic of this phenomenon as a manifestation of the transcendent nature of the person, allows conceptualizing the problems of individual integrity and social order. Based on the principle that the microcosm is in the macrocosm and the macrocosm is in the microcosm, a researcher sees the solution of social contradictions and integration problems through the analysis of the co-existence phenomenon existential nature. This is the consideration of the spirituality potential for individual and social life and factors that block its development.

Circle Dance: Old and New Communitas
Circle dances are observed in various cultures and times. The paper indicates certain social, political and situational contexts of the phenomenon of communal circle dances in remote territories: Catalonia, Balcans, Sakha (Yakutia), Buriatya and USA. The author offers an interpretation of chosen cases in terms of Victor Turner's concept of communitas. During the communal dances – sardana, corlu mari, yokhor, osuokhai and ghost dance – the idea of community, equality and unity is dominating over social structure divisions and resulting in forming the psychological and social communitas. This is why all analysed circle dances arise in the context of serious menace and destruction of ethnic integrity. Being together in a very literal sense through physical closeness during the same motoric behaviours, common singing produces feeling of power and unification, reinforcing social identity and affirmation to a group. Circle dances are analysed in association with attempts to preserve group cultural and often even biological integrity.

The paper describes the relationship between subcultural and school/institutional interpretationsin the inner discourse of an alternative school (the 'Diákház') in Budapest. Interpretations andpractices, that belonging two different interpretive frameworks, appear simultaneously andintertwined in the Diákház communication scene. This contributes to problem-solvingcapacities/knowledge that individually do not appear in either of the two. In this discourse, thesubcultural manifestations of difference, deviance, marginality, resistance or communitas, andthe manifestations of knowledge, autonomy, responsibility and the hierarchical structure of theschool sometimes appear in opposition, sometimes in reinforcement to each other. The knowledgeformed in the discourse can be used by the Diákház to keep (formerly drop-out) students withinthe institution, and by the students to reduce their own feeling of invalidity. In this way, theDiákház is able to use the two opposite social states, communitas and structure, to its ownbenefit

O texto tem como objetivo apresentar a categoria de "biopolítica afirmativa" de Roberto Esposito. Para tanto, na primeira parte discute-se rapidamente o que se convencionou chamar de "a diferença italiana". O segundo tópico do texto discute o significado de comunidade a partir do seu étimo originário munus. Na seção seguinte aborda-se o "dispositivo imunitário" onipresente em nossas sociedades. A partir dessas considerações pode-se, na última parte, discutir o problema central proposto, isto é, a biopolítica afirmativa.
