Origins and Scholarly Developments of the Neo-tribes Concept

Michel Maffesoli is widely credited with popularizing the term “neo-tribes” in his analyses of postmodern social life, particularly in his work The Time of the Tribes. Since then, other scholars—such as Zygmunt Bauman, who explores the fluidity of social forms in his idea of “liquid modernity,” and Judith Butler, whose work on the performative and continuously constructed nature of identity resonates with the neo-tribe framework—have contributed to understanding these shifting groupings. Various cultural theorists and sociologists have also continued to develop the concept, examining how mobile, transient communities reflect the evolving, fragmented character of contemporary identities.
