Abstract

This paper contributes to Scandinavian literature on community building with an empirical study of community building as a process. The study is unfolded using two process theoretical conceptual threads sensemaking-organizing-enactment and desire-event-materiality inspired by Weick and Deleuze, respectively. The analysis suggests that community building can be understood as a phenomenon driven by the intensification of mutual enactment alongside material and narrative threads to the outside world and past communities. Based on this insight, the paper formulates a number of focus points that could be helpful in supporting community building in practice. These include activity, space, atmospheres, hosting, and shared stories.
