ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on how The Inhuman League defines and enacts community, highlighting the importance of boundaries, similarities and difference, and exclusion and belonging. Community and belonging are conceptualised as something that exists in both thinking and doing and is linked with identity, stressing the importance of multiplicity (many and varied) and multiplexity (interlinking of such). The chapter argues that the idea of community as a search for belonging and with an emphasis on the construction of a culture is the most useful lens through which to explore the team. The conclusion emphasises a discussion of power in terms of whose definition counts and evaluates the role of skills capital within the structure of power.
