The contributors to this volume consider the ways in which assumptions about the genealogical model—in particular, ideas concerning sequence, essence, and transmission—structure other modes of practice and knowledge-making in domains well beyond what is normally labeled “kinship.” The detailed ethnographic work and analysis included in this text explores how these assumptions have been built into our understandings of race, personhood, ethnicity, property relations, and the relationship between human beings and non-human species. The authors explore the influences of the genealogical model of kinship in wider social theory and examine anthropology’s ability to provide a unique framework capable of bridging the “social” and “natural” sciences. In doing so, this volume brings fresh new perspectives to bear on contemporary theories concerning biotechnology and its effect upon social life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This collection of ten essays is the latest major work to call for renewed attention to the topic [of kinship], especially with respect to contemporary questions of how cultures relate to nature…[It] is a welcome addition to the ongoing revival of kinship, and will stimulate further debate among its many participants.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Ethnobiology Letters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e Pedigrees of Knowledge: Anthropology and the Genealogical Method\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eSandra Bamford\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eJames Leach\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e Aborescent Culture: Writing and Not Writing Race Horse Pedigrees\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eRebecca Cassidy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e When Blood Matters: Making Kinship in Colonial Kenya\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eTeresa Holmes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e The Web of Kin: An Online Genealogical Machine\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eGisli Pálsson\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e Genes, Mobilities and the Enclosures of Capital: Contesting Ancestry and its Applications in Iceland\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eHilary Cunningham\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/b\u003e Skipping a Generation and Assisted Kinship\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eJeanette Edwards\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/b\u003e ‘Family Trees’ among the Kamea of Papua New Guinea: A Non-Genealogical Approach to Imagining Relatedness\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eSandra Bamford\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/b\u003e Knowledge as Kinship: Mutable Essence and the Significance of Transmission on the Rai Coast of PNG\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eJames Leach\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/b\u003e Stories Against Classification: Transport, Wayfaring and the Integration of Knowledge\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eTim Ingold\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 10.\u003c\/b\u003e Revealing and Obscuring Rivers’s Pedigrees: Biological Inheritance and Kinship in Madagascar\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eRita Astuti\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 11.\u003c\/b\u003e The Gift and the Given: Three Nano-Essays on Kinship and Magic\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eEduardo Viveiros de Castro\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tNotes on contributors\u003cbr\u003e \tBibliography\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042974728535,"sku":"9781845454227","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781845454227.jpg?v=1750956474","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/kinship-and-beyond-the-genealogical-model-reconsidered-9781845454227","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
