Resumen
Descripción
We propose a new definition of partnership, which emphasizes the role and
meaning of power in creating partnership. Following a case study of change
processes within a kibbutz community undergoing lifestyle changes, The
proposed definition focuses on three dimensions of partnership: (a) the overt
dimension, in which partnership is manifested through daily community life
such as organizational structure, rules and norms; (b) the covert dimension,
which focuses on symbolic rites of partnership and "non-events"; (c) the
latent dimension, which expresses internalized partnership and influences
participants' consciousness through socialization and world views.
