The title of the present volume, Differences in Common, is intended as a statement on its theoretical framework: the editors maintain that the usual opposition between `difference(s)' and `the common,' or between the needs of the individual and those of community, is a "false dilemma," in Giorgio Agamben's words (1). This collection of essays aims to participate, thus, in the ongoing debate on `community,' focusing on its philosophical and political aspects through a gendered perspective. Many of the essays gathered here stem from a collective research project, "Literature and Communities: A Gendered Approach," developed at the University of Barcelona and directed by Marta Segarra, as well as from the special issue of Lectora. Revista de dones i textualitat on "Women and Nations," edited by Joana Sabadell-Nieto. The essays in this volume dialogue with other texts by internationally renowned scholars from the United States and Europe who have contributed to the debate on community and the common.
