%X Norbert Elias and John Scotson¡¯s analysis of the interconnection between positive and negative community identities in The Established and the Outsiders is well-known. Elias¡¯s subsequent writing about community offers a more rounded analysis, going beyond established/outsider configurations by exploring community¡¯s gendered character and the forces involved in the ¡®we¨CI balance¡¯ that counteract the pervasive process of individualization. Elias¡¯s use of personal pronouns to reveal how community identity (¡®we¡¯) relates not only to outsiders (¡®they¡¯) but also to an individual member (¡®I¡¯) of communities is central to his extended theory of community
