Цитата: The
essays in this volume present contemporary anthropological perspectives
on Chinese kinship, its historical complexity and its modern
metamorphoses. The collection draws particular attention to the
reverberations of larger socio-cultural and politico-economic processes
in the formation of sociality, intimate relations, family histories,
reproductive strategies and gender relations – and vice-versa.
Drawing on a wealth of ethnographic material from the late imperial period and from contemporary Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China,
from northern and southern regions as well as from rural and urban
settings, the volume provides unique insights into the historical and spatial
diversities of the Chinese kinship experience. This emphasis on
diversity challenges the classic ‘lineage paradigm’ of Chinese kinship
and establishes a dialogue with contemporary anthropological debates
about human kinship reflecting on the emergence of radically new family
formations in the Euro-American context.
Chinese Kinship will be of interest to anthropologists and sinologists, as to historians and social scientists in general.
