Description

The volume takes a close look at the forms and functions of family and kinship in cultural narratives in the United States.

It analyzes social and cultural contexts of kinship and family membership, relations of family and nation on a metaphorical level, and the political discourses that regulate sexuality and reproduction.

Representations of family and kinship inform all aspects of American life, which is prominently noticeable in politics, legislation, art, and the media.

Family discourses are employed to communicate and negotiate constellations of power and they can serve to investigate differences, struggles, alliances, strategic endeavors, and innovative conceptualizations of kinship.

The essays collected in this volume provide readings of texts across various genres that highlight the role of cultural production in reconfiguring paradigms of family and kinship in the US.
