Ontoculture and laoculture are two analytical levels proposed by the Mexican anthropologist Lourdes Arizpe to avoid overlapping the notion of culture when it is used interchangeably to refer both to cultural practices driven by human creativity and to the way in which public action expresses these practices in cultural policies. Meanwhile, the term "community" is increasingly used to define a series of practices surrounding cultural creation and expression in local contexts. This article aims to combine laocultural and ontocultural aspects in the notions of community, providing differentiated analytical tools for cultural management when studying and working with community practices.
