本文认为，不同的社区形象不是由于知识不足或目的混淆，而是由于在特定的斗争和困境的背景下的话语和行动的位置。它支持这样一种观点，即“对资源的斗争”也是“对意义的斗争”。它展示了在一系列级别和地点上，社区的竞争代表性如何表达对财产分配的争夺。它建议，通过行使“实用政治经济学”，特别是代表性的社区可以战略性地使用，以加强潜在的弱势群体的财产要求。在政策竞技场中，“以社区为基础的资源管理”的倡导者将社区代表为共识和可持续能力的场所。虽然这种表述是理想化的，但它提供了一个词汇，用以在国家面前捍卫社区的权利。贫穷的农民、发展规划者、顾问和学者也可以战略性地利用社区的代表性，以取得积极效果，或至少减轻消极影响。本文中的大多数（但不是全部）插图来自印度尼西亚，特别提到了中苏拉威西岛。
This article argues that divergent images of community result not from inadequate knowledge or confusion of purpose, but from the location of discourse and action in the context of specific struggles and dilemmas. It supports the view that ‘struggles over resources’ are also ‘struggles over meaning’. It demonstrates the ways in which contests over the distribution of property are articulated in terms of competing representations of community at a range of levels and sites. It suggests that, through the exercise of ‘practical political economy’, particular representations of community can be used strategically to strengthen the property claims of potentially disadvantaged groups. In the policy arena, advocates for ‘community based resource management’ have represented communities as sites of consensus and sustain-ability. Though idealized, such representations have provided a vocabulary with which to defend the rights of communities vis-a-vis states. Poor farmers, development planners, consultants and academics can also use representations of community strategically to achieve positive effects, or at least to mitigate negative ones. Most, but not all, of the illustrations in this article are drawn from Indonesia, with special reference to Central Sulawesi.
