Critical Kinship: Motherhood, recognition and other stories
Abstract
Studies of western kinship have increasingly sought to critique the normative assumptions that often underpin how caring relationships between humans are understood. In this talk I bring together a complex array of kinship stories that are intended to jar. In so doing I outline critical studies of kinship that de-centre humans as the focus of kinship, highlight how boundaries are drawn about what constitutes human kinship, and examine how understandings of human kinship are always predetermined by relationships to other species. I examine who might be excluded through adherence to accepted categories, and how a critical lens may broaden our understanding of caring relationships. Focusing especially on loss, motherhood and recognition I call into question the taken-for-granted boundaries that have often limited how we think about family.
