- Summary:
-
"This ethnographically based exploration provides a comprehensive analysis of family, gender and kinship in Australia, with profound implications for the way we understand modern kinship and gender at large. The discussion covers a wide range of themes from techniques of the body, the experience of relatedness and the structure of family households all the way to the very dynamics of contemporary capitalism. The analysis challenges some common beliefs and perceptions about this critical social field, even as it show cases a novel analytical approach that is rooted in the sociology of practice and in the anthropology of cognition."--BOOK JACKET.
