Brint, Steven (March 2001). "Gemeinschaft Revisited: A Critique and Reconstruction of the Community Concept" (PDF). Sociological Theory. American Sociological Association. 19: 1–23. doi:10.1111/0735-2751.00125. S2CID 1629834.

In "Gemeinschaft Revisited: A Critique and Reconstruction of the Community Concept," Brint critiques the Gemeinschaft concept and proposes a new way of understanding community. He argues that Gemeinschaft has been romanticized and idealized, and that it fails to capture the complexity and diversity of contemporary communities. Brint suggests that community should be seen as a dynamic and changing concept, which is constantly being reconstructed through social interactions and practices. He also emphasizes the importance of studying the role of power and inequality in shaping community dynamics.
