This innovative book takes a look at the anthropology of kinship and the comparative study of relatedness. Kinship has historically been central to the discipline of anthropology but what sort of future does it have? What is the impact of recent studies of reproductive technologies, of gender, and of the social construction of science in the West? What significance does public anxiety about the family, or new family forms in the West have for anthropology's analytic strategies? The study of kinship has rested on a distinction between the 'biological' and the 'social'. But recent technological developments have made this distinction no longer self-evident. What does this imply about the comparison of kinship institutions cross-culturally? Janet Carsten gives an approachable view of the past, present, and future of kinship in anthropology, which will be of interest not just to anthropologists but to social scientists generally.
a very innovative book drawing our attention to the influence of new social relations (e.g. gay marriage and acquired kinship) and technology (e.g. in vitro fertilization). A clear and easy read
评分要把擴展kinship的內涵從natural擴展到social的一本書。在丈夫彌留之際取精生子,討論的是父親、母親、孩子三方的權利。
评分It's all about kinships!
评分親屬製度研究大綜述,對瞭解學術史有幫助,新鮮內容不多。
评分大概做kinship這方麵想有突破不容易吧,結構不錯不過除瞭最後的assisted reproduction沒啥新東西
