This article reviews some of the literature devoted to the “Québec community movement” (QCM) through a two tiered reading. For the first tier, we propose a generic definition according to which the community movement is a heterogeneous set of mobilizations aimed at challenging the state’s claim to a monopoly on the collective treatment of social reproduction. Then, for the second tier, we begin by questioning the objective of QCM as such in order to draw attention to the plurality that it covers. We then turn to Québec community studies, to highlight the gap between practical and theoretical approaches as well as an intellectual isolation that bears some similarities to the study of urban social movements.
