Art/Literary - Anthropology | | Spanish term or phrase: lo comunitario | "El nuestro es un trabajo que apunta hacia lo comunitario."
Es un proyecto de investigación en antropología.
Es un giro muy común en español (Argentina)pero no se me ocurre cómo poner ese "lo" comunitario, lo político, lo social... Es como que abarca, categoriza las ideas, acciones, prácticas...
Muchas gracias por la ayuda! |

| | Our work is community oriented | Explanation:
you can't translate lo comunitario..you have to work around it..
either in: community work, or community x, depending on the context
the same goes for lo social and lo politico
it depends on context.
The only exception is in certain academic texts where post-modern writers use The political, the social etc.
cheers

Si tienes que abarcar lo político y lo social, podría ser:
...aimed at achieving community, political and social advancements/progress
O algo similar.
