The Bolivian government has hailed the solstice as the start of an age in which community and collectivity will prevail over capitalism and individuality.
For Alexander, cultural trauma occurs when a collectivity feels they have been subjected to a "horrendous event" that leaves enduring marks upon their group consciousness and memory, changing their future identity in irreversible ways (2004: iv).
Fourteen (36%) were living in collectivity or had a precarious social situation.
Thus, substantial work on the nature, advantages, and origins of collectivity has appeared in recent years5,8,9,10.
This collectivity has spread like wildfire in the last year or so – each protest, revolution and occupation triggering new uprisings against state oppression, class inequality and police brutality.
The life of man, he came to feel is a constant struggle between the individualist and the collective but at its highest stage "the individual is submerged in the family … the family in the nation … and so the Nation … in the highest attainment of human collectivity the world has yet seen … the empire".
And yet, the form of engagement that he at one point calls "collective action" does surface repeatedly in the speech: so, if not a bridge across the aisle in Congress, what collectivity does the President have in mind?
A small number of local governments, known as collectivités territoriales à statut particulier ("territorial collectivities with special status"), have slightly different administrative frameworks; among these are the island of Corsica and the large cities of Paris, Lyon, and Marseille.
They don't have that collectivity and 'work is number one and everything else is outside it'; in fact, their lives tend to be lived in the opposite direction.
Jazz and hip-hop both have histories of collectivity: musicians sacrificing their own interests to make an art musically, and maybe socially, more powerful.
