J. H. M. Beattie's article "130. Kinship and Social Anthropology" in Man (1964) critiques the then-dominant structuralist approach to kinship studies, particularly Lévi-Strauss's emphasis on alliance theory. Beattie argues for a more processual and dynamic understanding of kinship, focusing on the actual behavior and choices of individuals within kinship systems rather than abstract models. He emphasizes the importance of considering factors like political power, economic exchange, and individual motivations in shaping kinship relations. Beattie suggests that social anthropology should move beyond simply classifying kinship systems and instead explore how kinship operates in practice within specific social contexts
