Revisiting Compadrazgo
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…

The World Upside Down
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…

Turning the world on its head
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. People faced a natural phenomenon from antiquity,11 This essay is not considering the possibility of a lab-created virus. I…
General Introduction
The journal, Kinship , is dedicated to the study of kinship in all of its facets, is international in scope and will publish original work in English, though publications in other languages, as is the case in this issue, will be considered on a case-by-case basis. In this issue of Kinship , there are two articles which reflect the nature of kinship research in both its more traditional format with focus on the social context of kinship relations …
Issue Introduction
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…

Milk Kinship
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
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
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…
Back to Kinship II
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…
Transformationality and Dynamicality of Kinship Structure
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
Back to 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

Veiling Infitah with Muslim Ethic
An examination of the contemporary Islamic Movement in Egypt shows it to represent a creative alternative to institutional Islam. Alternative Islam serves to bind Egyptian youth on university campuses as Muslim brothers and sisters in one community. Its two fundamental features—egalitarianism and sexual segregation—are analyzed in the context of the cultural correlates of Infitah and the social correlates of development. Within this community a n…
Bride-Price Reconsidered [and Comments]
A revised consideration of bride-price and dowry is presented. Marriage payments are viewed as status symbols and mechanisms of fluidity relating to stratification systems. An inability to carry out exchange "in kind" (i.e., bride for bride) appears in cases of marriage between groups of different status and is shaped by cultural principles of stratification. The phenomena of hypergamy, hypogamy, and isogamy, along with different exchange currenc…

Mathematics in Structural Theory [and Comments and Reply]
Levi-Strauss, amongst other anthropological theorists, has argued for the incorporation of mathematical formalization into anthropological theorizing. The integration of mathematical formalization with anthropological theory is examined in this article through the structural analysis of fandango (wedding) ritual as it is practiced among the Zapotec in a small village near Oaxaca, Mexico. The correspondence that is found between the details of the…

I consider it nontrivial that IJMES invites reflection on the question, “What is private in the Middle East?” without positioning “private” against “public.” Conceptually, a private–public polarity refers to a division of space that has become reified into a heuristic paradigm used to describe gendered social and cultural activities

Veil
Shortlisted for the Katharine Briggs Folklore Award 2000. In the 1970s, often to the consternation of parents and siblings, certain progressive young Arab women voluntarily donned the veil. The movement, which rapidly expanded and continues to gather momentum, has sparked controversy within Islamic culture, as well as reactions ranging from perplexity to outrage from those outside it. Western feminist commentators have been particularly vociferou…
