The widening of communities
1. Does the orange highlighted sentence mean the very idea of collectivity __ the very idea of a nation, of a class, or of a “collectivism after modernism”—?
2. Does "the widening of communities" mean "the growth and expansion of communities"?
Context:
It has been argued that the very idea of collectivity—of a nation, of a class, or of a “collectivism after modernism”—is in truth a fantasy projection, or a kind of utopia. This notion suggests that artists who contributed to the widening of communities through their allegiance to given dissident or protesting communities were not so much sharing a social bond as taking part in an unrealizable “dream of redemption” that characterizes social change.
