Description
Kinship and Beyond: A Reconsideration of the Genealogical Model By Sandra Bamford, Sandra C. Bamford, and James Leach This collection of essays challenges traditional notions of kinship by exploring how assumptions about the genealogical model shape our understanding of various domains beyond what is typically associated with family relationships. The authors examine how these ideas influence concepts such as race, personhood, ethnicity, property relations, and human-nonhuman relationships. The book provides a unique framework for bridging social and natural sciences, shedding new light on contemporary theories surrounding biotechnology's impact on society. Through detailed ethnographic work and analysis, the contributors offer fresh perspectives on the genealogical model's influence in wider social theory. By reconsidering the genealogical model, this volume offers insights into how our understanding of kinship is intertwined with broader societal structures and knowledge-making practices.
