  • Revisiting Compadrazgo

    Open AccessFadwa El GuindiARTICLEKinship2024

    A recently published article by Roland Alum (2024) on compadrazgo describes the continuing relevance of compadrazgo in Latin America, which I have found to be significant in light of my analysis of this phenomenon (see references below), but when the author regards the phenomenon to be 'spiritual kinship', as the title, The Continuing Relevance of Compadrazgo Spiritual Kinship in Latin America, of his article unambiguously declares, I find it nec…

    This article describes the natural phenomenon of the virus labelled COVID-19 and how its spread shook up the social, cultural and business world of humans. In my analysis, I first describe the devastating effect of the sudden onslaught on human lives and the global market, after it became classified by the WHO-UN as a pandemic, and conclude with identifying some patterns commonly overlooked in existing discussions but which embody some lessons le…

    While we might feel small, separate and all alone, Our people have never been more closely tethered The question isn't if we can weather this unknown, But how we will weather this unknown together. —Amanda Gorman, "The Miracle of Morning" In a sweeping stroke, the onslaught of the COVID-19 virus turned the world upside down.

    This, the second issue of the journal Kinship , features a major article, “Crow-Omaha Kinship: Revitalizing a Problem or Generating a Solution?,” in which the author, German Dziebel (USA), argues that the Crow-Omaha terminologies should not be viewed on a case-by-case basis but from a systems perspective. The article is followed by five comments that discuss the issues raised in the article, followed by the author's Reply to the comments. The iss…

  • Suckling

    Fadwa El GuindiBOOKSuckling2020

    A ground-breaking ethnographic study of suckling in the Arabian Gulf , this book reenergises the study of kinship. It analyses the misunderstood and marginalized phenomenon of suckling drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Qatar over a seven-year period. Fadwa El Guindi situates suckling (often given other names or subsumed under misleading classifications) squarely in the analytical category of kinship, with recognition that kinship is necessaril…

  • Milk Kinship

    Open AccessFadwa El GuindiOTHERThe International Encyclopedia of…2018

    Milk kinship is a designation that refers to social practices sharing the feature in which infants are breastfed by lactating women who are not their birth mothers. Historically these practices were widespread in the Mediterranean, Arabian and Balkan regions, and among contemporary Shia and Sunni Muslim groups. While the practice pre‐dates Islam, Islamic sources legitimized and regulated it. Recent field research has sought to define the paramete…

  • Properties of Kinship Structure

    Fadwa El GuindiCHAPTERFocality and Extension in Kinship2018

    This grew out of a systematic empirical study of kinship practices in Qatar carried out over a period of seven years (between 2006 and 2013). The primary data derive from systematic ethnographic observations made by the author on Qatari kinship practices and in-depth data obtained by a research team headed by the author on the subject of suckling kinship, including elicitation of Qatari kinship terms, over a period of three years

  • Beyond Fitness and Nurture

    Open AccessFadwa El GuindiARTICLEStructure and Dynamics eJournal…2016Citada por: 2Referencias: 6

    This paper builds on earlier analyses of primary data on kinship in Qatar. Its conceptualization centers kinship as a highly structured universal human phenomenon in the study of humankind. As lived practices, kinship forms a bounded, identifiable domain that is distinguishable from other societal relations. Going beyond reducing kinship to fitness (biology) or nurture (culture study), analysis of primary ethnographic data gathered as part of a g…

    The two failed orientations to kinship, nurture and fitness, are transcended as this collection of original kinship work moves forward, building on the rich theoretical and ethnographic past of kinship study to a reinvigorated future of new data, reconceptualization of paradigms, fresh debates and new theory. Using kinship to anthropomorphize nonhuman primates is rejected. Contributions from 18 distinguished scholars of kinship cover the four-fie…

    Building on data systematically gathered during a field study in Qatar, it is found that kinship structure is characterized by a property combining transformationality and dynamicality, certainly in Qatari kinship, and proposed here as a feature of the universal human phenomenon of kinship

    In this collection, we retrace some of the historical development of the anthropological study of kinship and go back to the concepts and ideas that we, as anthropologists, had previously been circulating about kinship knowledge. We address issues that have been raised about the study of kinship, the place of kinship in anthropological knowledge and what constitutes kinship on the basis of local knowledge
