What kinship is and is not in the work of Marshall Sahlins … and beyond
This essay explores how anthropological assumptions about the differential place of kinship in kin-based and state-based societies shaped the work of Marshall Sahlins. On the one hand, I show how his expansive excursions into what kinship is, means, and does within the scope of kin-based societies clearly motivated some of his major contributions to anthropological theory: his critique of Western economic and biological determinisms; his explorat…
The Politics of Making Kinship
The long tradition of Western political thought included kinship in models of public order, but the social sciences excised it from theories of the state, public sphere, and democratic order. Kinship has, however, neither completely disappeared from the political cultures of the West nor played the determining social and political role ascribed to it elsewhere. Exploring the issues that arise once the divide between kinship and politics is no lon…
The American Eugenics Record Office
In the first decades of the twentieth century, American researchers at the Eugenics Record Office utilized a theoretical framework that combined humoral and Mendelian principles of inheritance to measure, trace, and predict the intergenerational transmission of an expansive net of morally charged heritable traits. Their reductive understanding of Mendelian principles—guided by class- and race-based prejudices—allowed them to paint a portrait of a…

Temperamental Differences
By focusing on the debate about cousin marriage that unfolded over the mid- to late-nineteenth century in the United States, this article explores the capacity of kinship to produce difference as well as sameness, exclusion as well as inclusion. I follow the cultural logic of temperaments through which the relative value of cousin versus non-kin marriages was debated. I also examine the rhetoric that linked these contrasting forms of marriage wit…
Productive Paradoxes of the Assisted Reproductive Technologies in the Context of the New Kinship Studies
This article argues that the paradoxical, domain-crossing qualities of the assisted reproductive technologies have made them exceptionally productive in the 'new kinship studies' in a number of different ways. First, the assisted reproductive technologies have collapsed the separations-between nature and culture, home and work, love and money, the domestic and the economic-that have been foundational to the conception of 'modernity.' Second, they…

The Economies in Kinship and the Paternity of Culture
Relative Values
The essays in Relative Values draw on new work in anthropology, science studies, gender theory, critical race studies, and postmodernism to offer a radical revisioning of kinship and kinship theory. Through a combination of vivid case studies and trenchant theoretical essays, the contributors-a group of internationally recognized scholars-examine both the history of kinship theory and its future, at once raising questions that have long occupied …
A obliteração da cultura e a naturalização da escolha nas confabulações da psicologia evolucionista
Nas últimas décadas do século vinte, duas formas radicalmente opostas de retratar culturalmente o parentesco emergiram, de um lado, nas narrativas da psicologia evolucionista e, de outro, naquelas das novas tecnologias biogenéticas. Ambas são peculiarmente influenciadas por uma obsessão euro-americana com escolha, mas movem-se em direções opostas. Enquanto Marilyn Strathern (1992) tem argumentado que as novas tecnologias reprodutivas 'hiper-sofis…
Domestic Exceptions
New Directions in Kinship Study
Gender, Kinship, Power
Through twenty engaging essays exploring cultures ranging from ancient Judaic civilization to contemporary Brazil, Gender, Kinship and Power places important contemporary issues related to kinship--such as parental responsibility and female-headed households--in their proper comparative and historical framework
The Heat of the Hearth
About the House
The domestic unit is inseparable from its homestead, and the 'house', at once a physical place and a social unit, is often also a unit of production and consumption, a cult group, and even a political faction. Inspired by Lévi-Strauss's suggestion that the multi-functional noble houses of medieval Europe were simply the best-known examples of a widespread social institution, the contributors to this collection analyse 'house' systems in Southeast…

Doing and being
Beginning in the 1970s, anthropologists began to critique the dominance of analytic models that presupposed a universal biological foundation underlying the social relations of kinship. Many people accused David Schneider (1972, 1984), the main proponent of this critique, of bringing about the "death" of kinship studies. Despite the accusation, Schneider's critique simply shifted the grounds for the comparative study of kinship from functional to…
