长期以来，灾难学者一直抱怨他们的领域理论薄弱：他们更擅长做和说，而不是分析。理论的缺乏无疑反映了对案例研究和实际解决方案的关注，这是可以理解的。然而，这有悖于大局思维。因此，我们对社会痛苦的理解和减轻痛苦的能力都是支离破碎的。公社在这里堪称典范。这是指在灾难发生后出现的相互帮助、集体情感和乌托邦欲望的即兴行为。自从有关于灾难的社会学以来，人们就一直观察到这一点。在该领域内，人们已经做出了许多努力来命名和描述它。然而，人们对将其理论化的热情要低得多，这意味着灾难文学没有充分解释社区产生(或失败)的社会条件。在本文中，我们综合了大量的案例研究来做到这一点。这使我们超越了对社区是什么以及它应该被称为什么的简单陈述，而是考虑到它出现的条件，它应该如何概念化，可能阻止社区的因素，以及我们如何鼓励社区。虽然主要是一项理论工作，但确定社区的促进者和障碍对减少灾害风险政策具有实际意义，因为社区经常被证明是一种积极和有力的力量。
Disaster scholars have long complained that their field is theory light: they are much better at doing and saying than analyzing. The paucity of theory doubtless reflects an understandable focus on case studies and practical solutions. Yet this works against big picture thinking. Consequently, both our comprehension of social suffering and our ability to mitigate it are fragmented. Communitas is exemplary here. This refers to the improvisational acts of mutual help, collective feeling and utopian desires that emerge in the wake of disasters. It has been observed for as long as there has been a sociology of disasters. Within the field, there have been numerous efforts to name and describe it. Yet there has been far less enthusiasm to theorize it, which means that the disaster literature has not adequately explained the social conditions under which communitas arises (or fails to). In this article, we synthesize numerous case studies to do so. This takes us beyond simple statements of what communitas is and what it should be called, to considerations of the conditions under which it emerges, how it should be conceptualized, the factors that might prevent communitas, and how we might encourage it. While primarily a theoretical work, the identification of communitas’ facilitators and barriers have practical import for disaster risk reduction (DRR) policy as communitas has frequently proven to be a positive and potent force.
