Full textAbstract:
Mounting evidence suggests that patterns of local relatedness can change over time in predictable ways, a process termed kinship dynamics. Kinship dynamics may occur at the level of the population or social group, where the mean relatedness across all members of the population or group changes over time, or at the level of the individual, where an individual's relatedness to its local group changes with age. Kinship dynamics are likely to have fundamental consequences for the evolution of social behaviour and life history because they alter the inclusive fitness payoffs to actions taken at different points in time. For instance, growing evidence suggests that individual kinship dynamics have shaped the evolution of menopause and age-specific patterns of helping and harming. To date, however, the consequences of kinship dynamics for social evolution have not been widely explored. Here we review the patterns of kinship dynamics that can occur in natural populations and highlight how taking a kinship dynamics approach has yielded new insights into behaviour and life-history evolution. We discuss areas where analysing kinship dynamics could provide new insight into social evolution, and we outline some of the challenges in predicting and quantifying kinship dynamics in natural populations.

Full textAbstract:
Kinship is considered a fundamental gateway to understanding patterns of social, cultural, and organizational interaction. The kinship term also represents a crucial structure within the prevalent kinship system in society. It reveals classifications related to relatives, defining their statuses and relationships with each other. Relationships among relatives, such as marriage, role distribution, positions, orphan care, inheritance distribution, and others, take into account the type of kinship and the nature of the specific kin identified by the kinship term. As a result, one can question the patterns of use and deployment of the kinship term in the social and cultural system.

ABSTRACTThe article highlights the significance of alliances of blood and marriage in early modern England and beyond, including both positive and negative relations among kin. Examining different historiographical approaches, it emphasizes the role of kinship in explanations of historical change and continuity. Rather than focusing on the isolated nuclear family or, conversely, on an alleged decline of kinship, it highlights the importance of enmeshed patterns of kinship and connectedness. Such patterns were not only important in themselves (whether culturally, socially, economically, or politically), it is suggested, but they also invite new comparisons with other early modern societies, and in the long run. Even patterns typical of present-day ‘new families’ and ‘families of choice’, or aspects of the present-day language of kinship may bring to mind some similarities with notions of kinship and related ‘household-family’ ties characteristic of the early modern period, the article proposes.

Kinship Care is a form of childcare by close relatives such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, or siblings when biological parents cannot fulfill their parenting responsibilities. In Indonesia, Kinship Care often arises in the context of poverty, migration, parental death, or the inability of parents to care for their children for various reasons, including death, illness, or legal issues. This research is a desk study using Wilhelm Dilthey's hermeneutic analysis method to explore three aspects, namely Erlebnis (experience), Ausdruck (expression), and Verstehen (understanding), in Surah Ali 'Imran verses 37 and 44. The results of this study conclude that in the Kinship Care pattern, Zakariya has four patterns in caring for Maryam, security and support, space for children, financial security, dialogue and appreciation for children. Then, suggestions for further research related to Kinship Care studies to explore broader patterns using different hermeneutical theories and different figures in the Qur'an can also be taken in relevance to different contexts so that they can reach ideal patterns for Kinship Care studies.

Abstract This paper assesses enduring values and on-going changes in kin relationships among eastern Tibetan pastoralists. A key finding is the importance of sibling ties, an aspect of kinship life that was overshadowed by earlier historical and anthropological concerns with clans and tribes. The paper begins by reviewing accounts drawn from premodern times, the problematic terms in which these accounts were couched and some of the presuppositions guiding the authors. Next, it discusses government reforms implemented in pastoralist regions beginning in the 1950s and how these reforms have affected personal life and livelihoods. It then considers how long-standing expectations for kin concerning residence and inheritance have combined with new circumstances to create novel household forms and patterns of mutual aid. Brothers and sisters have facilitated adaptations to these new opportunities by providing chains of assistance across the rural–urban divide. Finally, the paper illustrates how focusing on kinship at a personal and practical level can contribute to our understanding of social change.

Full textAbstract:
Anthropologists have long studied ‘exotic’ kinship patterns in distant places that differedfrom what was seen as the traditional nuclear family. The second half of the twentiethcentury witnessed a number of changes (new patterns of birth and marriage, new reproductive technologies, the increased visibility of step- and adoptive elations) that changed scholars’ perceptions, convincing them that the traditional—even in Europe and North America—was no longer a helpful concept in understanding contemporary family dynamics. Accordingly, anthropologists reformulated their analytical tools to take stock of the variety of contemporary understandings of family life, placing the emphasis not on sexual procreation and blood connections, but on an enduring sentiment of diffuse solidarity: relatedness (Carsten 2000).

The purpose of this study were identify the social background of fishermen community, especially the kinship structure, marriage and inheritance patterns, to identify the role of kinship systems in managing fishery resources. This research applied purposive sampling method with the number of respondents were 30 people (composed from 5 nuclear families and 5 extended families of Bugisnese, 5 nuclear families and 5 extended families of Mandarnese, 5 nuclear families and 5 extended families of Beraunese). This research was conducted in June 2018 to February 2019. Data analyzed based on genealogical Analysis and then presented descriptively. The results showed that: Kinship term used by nuclear and extended families on Bugisnese, Mandarnese and Beraunese fishermen to greet the families members in daily activities. Kinship structure of nuclear and extended families of Bugisnese, Mandarnese and Beraunese formed by patrilineal system. Marriage patterns of nuclear and extended families on Bugisnese, Mandarnese and Beraunese fishermen adjust the customs and habits of each ethnic. Family inheritance patterns of nuclear and extended family on Bugisnese, Mandarnese and Beraunese adopted the individual and collective inheritance system where men received boat or fishing gear women received house or land. The role of the kinship systems families on Bugisnese, Mandarnese and Beraunese fishermen was to determine the co-operation mechanism on fishermen community based in Talisayan village on Common Pool Resources (CPR) system.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAddress inversion occurs in many languages of the world and involves figurative use of kinship terms in the “reversed” meaning. In pragmatically defined contexts, a son can be called ‘daddy’, a daughter ‘mummy’, etc. The article explains general cognitive mechanisms underlying this widespread linguistic behavior, drawing parallels to other strategies based on opposition and used to express positive emotions. A detailed case study of Swahili will demonstrate that the phenomenon of address inversion is best understood, when a cognitive analysis takes into account a full sociolinguistic and cultural context. In addition, variation observed in Swahili usage patterns of address inversion provides insights into paths of semantic change which some kinship terms have undergone evolving into general words of endearment or discourse markers. The article contributes to cognitive linguistic research on emotions and words of endearment, and to studies on polysemy of kinship terms. The results shed light on general issues of language-culture interface and sociolinguistic contexts of semantic change.

Full textAbstract:
Sperm whales have a multi-level social structure based upon long-term, cooperative social units. What role kinship plays in structuring this society is poorly understood. We combined extensive association data (518 days, during 2005–2016) and genetic data (18 microsatellites and 346 bp mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region sequences) for 65 individuals from 12 social units from the Eastern Caribbean to examine patterns of kinship and social behaviour. Social units were clearly matrilineally based, evidenced by greater relatedness within social units (mean r = 0.14) than between them (mean r = 0.00) and uniform mtDNA haplotypes within social units. Additionally, most individuals (82.5%) had a first-degree relative in their social unit, while we found no first-degree relatives between social units. Generally and within social units, individuals associated more with their closer relatives (matrix correlations: 0.18–0.25). However, excepting a highly related pair of social units that merged over the study period, associations between social units were not correlated with kinship ( p > 0.1). These results are the first to robustly demonstrate kinship's contribution to social unit composition and association preferences, though they also reveal variability in association preferences that is unexplained by kinship. Comparisons with other matrilineal species highlight the range of possible matrilineal societies and how they can vary between and even within species.

This research problem is to reveal and describe how the people in Nagari Mungka use the patterns of kinship greeting forms in the Minangkabau language as a case example. Mungka is one of the areas that, until now, still uses the values of the Minangkabau language and culture well, so it is necessary to see how they use the greeting language in their daily kinship. Data were collected using questionnaires, interviews, cross-checks, data collection, and recording. In addition, free and unbound listening techniques were also used to collect data using the form of kinship greetings in a conversation. The analysis method was using sorting and classifying the data based on the type or category of kinship greeting forms through the kinship system in Minangkabau. The analysis results show the characteristics of Minangkabau culture in using patterns of kinship greeting forms such as pronouns, titles, kinship greetings, and kinship greetings added with pronouns and adjectives. Based on the findings, if a scriptwriter wants to write a traditional script in kinship greetings, it can refer to the use of kinship in Minangkabau. AbstrakMasalah penelitian ini adalah mengungkap dan mendeskripsikan bagaimana masyarakat di Nagari Mungka menggunakan pola-pola sapaan kekerabatan dalam bahasa Minangkabau sebagai contoh kasus. Mungka merupakan salah satu daerah yang sampai saat ini masih menggunakan nilai-nilai bahasa dan budaya Minangkabau dengan baik, sehingga perlu dilihat bagaimana mereka menggunakan bahasa sapaan tersebut dalam pergaulan sehari-hari. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan angket, wawancara, cek silang, pengumpulan data, dan pencatatan. Selain itu, teknik menyimak bebas dan tidak terikat juga digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data berupa sapaan kekeluargaan dalam percakapan. Metode analisis menggunakan pemilahan dan pengklasifikasian data berdasarkan jenis atau kategori bentuk sapaan kekerabatan melalui sistem kekerabatan di Minangkabau. Hasil analisis menunjukkan ciri-ciri budaya Minangkabau dalam menggunakan pola bentuk sapaan kekerabatan seperti kata ganti, gelar, sapaan kekerabatan, dan sapaan kekerabatan ditambah dengan kata ganti dan kata sifat. Berdasarkan temuan tersebut, jika seorang penulis naskah ingin menulis naskah adat dalam sapaan kekerabatan, dapat merujuk pada penggunaan kekerabatan di Minangkabau.

The development of digital technology has brought significant changes in social interaction patterns, especially in kinship relationships. This study aims to understand how kinship dynamics change in the digital era using the symbolic interaction perspective introduced by Herbert Blumer. This study uses a qualitative approach with a document study method to analyze various secondary sources related to changes in social interaction in families. The results of the study indicate that the use of social media and communication technology has changed the form of family communication from face-to-face to digital-based. This allows geographically separated families to stay connected, but also presents challenges in maintaining emotional closeness. The use of digital symbols such as emojis, stickers, and video calls replaces physical expressions in communication, which can affect the depth of social interaction in kinship relationships. This study also found that shifts in communication patterns in families can affect solidarity and social support between family members. Digital technology can be a means to strengthen or weaken kinship relationships depending on how individuals interpret it in their daily lives. Thus, this study provides important insights for academics and social practitioners regarding the impact of technology on social interaction and family dynamics in the digital era.

Despite the long history of kinship studies, we still lack agreed theories capable of explaining the connection between terminological systems and kinship practice. This article argues for a cognitive approach centering on two distinct but complementary aspects of identity. It is argued that patterns of shared identity are implied by terminology and combine with other factors to motivate practice—in a feedback loop which transmits influences between terminological systems and political and economic institutions. The argument is illustrated by statistical and historical analyses of an aspect of European kinship.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract:The preoccupation with “autochthony” and the exclusion of “strangers” in many parts of present-day Africa, a paradoxical outcome of political liberalization, has given new importance to funerals as an ultimate test of “belonging.” However, the link between funerals and belonging is certainly not new. This article compares three different versions of this link from southern Cameroon. In the 1970s, Maka funerals in southeast Cameroon emphasized belonging in terms of local kinship and affinity. In the 1980s, Ewondo funerals in Central Province reaffirmed the belonging of urban elites to their village of origin. In the 1990s, funerals in the Southwest Province revealed the increased political significance of the funeral in the context of a growing preoccupation with autochthony and belonging under democratization. These three examples illustrate the continuing stretching of kinship as it bridges new inequalities and distances. They also raise quesdons as to its breaking point.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The underlying kin structure of groups of animals may be glimpsed from patterns of spatial position or temporal association between individuals, and is presumed to facilitate inclusive fitness benefits. Such structure may be evident at a finer, behavioural, scale with individuals preferentially interacting with kin. We tested whether kin structure within groups of meerkats Suricata suricatta matched three forms of social interaction networks: grooming, dominance or foraging competitions. Networks of dominance interactions were positively related to networks of kinship, with close relatives engaging in dominance interactions with each other. This relationship persisted even after excluding the breeding dominant pair and when we restricted the kinship network to only include links between first order kin, which are most likely to be able to discern kin through simple rules of thumb. Conversely, we found no relationship between kinship networks and either grooming networks or networks of foraging competitions. This is surprising because a positive association between kin in a grooming network, or a negative association between kin in a network of foraging competitions offers opportunities for inclusive fitness benefits. Indeed, the positive association between kin in a network of dominance interactions that we did detect does not offer clear inclusive fitness benefits to group members. We conclude that kin structure in behavioural interactions in meerkats may be driven by factors other than indirect fitness benefits, and that networks of cooperative behaviours such as grooming may be driven by direct benefits accruing to individuals perhaps through mutualism or manipulation [Current Zoology 58 (2): 319–328, 2012].

Full textAbstract:
For a single species, human kinship organization is both remarkably diverse and strikingly organized. Kinship terminology is the structured vocabulary used to classify, refer to, and address relatives and family. Diversity in kinship terminology has been analyzed by anthropologists for over 150 years, although recurrent patterning across cultures remains incompletely explained. Despite the wealth of kinship data in the anthropological record, comparative studies of kinship terminology are hindered by data accessibility. Here we present Kinbank, a new database of 210,903 kinterms from a global sample of 1,229 spoken languages. Using open-access and transparent data provenance, Kinbank offers an extensible resource for kinship terminology, enabling researchers to explore the rich diversity of human family organization and to test longstanding hypotheses about the origins and drivers of recurrent patterns. We illustrate our contribution with two examples. We demonstrate strong gender bias in the phonological structure of parent terms across 1,022 languages, and we show that there is no evidence for a coevolutionary relationship between cross-cousin marriage and bifurcate-merging terminology in Bantu languages. Analysing kinship data is notoriously challenging; Kinbank aims to eliminate data accessibility issues from that challenge and provide a platform to build an interdisciplinary understanding of kinship.

Abstract In Kinship and Community in Carriacou (1962), M.G. Smith documents what he calls “abnormal” sexual relations between women in female-headed households on the island. These lesbian madivines represent statistically significant “deviations” from normative patterns of kinship and residence in domestic groups, and are associated with the shapeshifting witchcraft of sukuyan and lougarou. Linking Smith’s ethnography of “mating patterns” to transactional pathways of reproductive value—blood, money, witchcraft and sexuality—I rework his ideological explanation of Carriacou lesbianism (as a “mechanism” for preserving female marital fidelity) into a feminist model of female empowerment with comparative potentialities throughout the Caribbean.

Full textAbstract:
Kinship verification has been a challenging problem for generations, technology has been trying to resolve the same last two decades, without any success. It determines the blood relation between two people with help of their given pair of images. This problem has attracted significant attention in various fields, such as biometrics, forensic research, and social media, but age and gender differences make this problem more complicated, especially when we want to find the relationship between Descendants with skipped levels like grandparents and grandsons/daughters. In this paper, we proposed a novel approach by formulating kinship data as a finite discrete structure (FDS), which provides a mathematical model of kinship relations. We represent the data as a graph, where nodes denote individuals, and edges determine the relationships among them. This structured representation serves as the foundation for learning relational patterns. Using this Finite Discrete Structure framework, we employ Relational Graph Convolutional Networks (RGCN) to extract and analyze the complex relational dependencies in kinship verification. Initially EfficientNet is used to extract facial features, these feature vectors along with relations, form the graph structure. RGCN processes this graph to derive kin relations and effectively capture complex patterns within the discrete structured space. To improve model’s ability for enhancing Class-wise discriminability we used ArcFace and Center loss functions to enforce feature separability and robust kinship classification. We evaluate our approach on the FIW dataset, achieving an accuracy of 89.45%, demonstrating that our method effectively addresses the kinship verification problem within the framework of finite discrete structures. This work highlights the potential of graph-based models in analyzing and classifying complex relationships in structured, discrete domains.

Full textAbstract:
The kinship legal system is an important part of social life, regulating relationships between individuals in a family or relatives, either through the father's lineage (patrilineal), mother's lineage (matrilineal), or both (bilateral), and through marriage bonds. This system not only creates patterns of social relationships, but also forms new groups rooted in the culture of the community, while also playing a role in preserving and passing on cultural values to the next generation. The purpose of this study is to identify, analyze, and understand the kinship legal system in Indonesian society, especially related to the role of culture, family structure, and existing social dynamics. Specifically, this study also focuses on the kinship legal system in the Batak ethnic community, exploring the diversity of kinship patterns applied, and exploring its implications for social integration, cultural preservation, and the continuity of Batak ethnic traditions. This research method uses a qualitative approach. This research is in the form of a case study, which was chosen to examine a case with clear boundaries. The results of the study show that the dominance of the kinship system in a particular society can be explained through several complex factors. First, strong local traditions and cultures establish this system as an integral part of community identity. Second, the economic structure, especially in agrarian societies, creates the need for a strong kinship network for resource management and social support. Third, the social interests that arise from interdependence among family members facilitate solidarity and cooperation. Fourth, customary law remains relevant and serves as a conflict resolution mechanism that is more acceptable to society than formal law.

Evolutionary ecologists have shown that relatives are important providers of support across many species. Among humans, cultural reckonings of kinship are more than just relatedness, as they interact with systems of descent, inheritance, marriage and residence. These cultural aspects of kinship may be particularly important when a person is determining which kin, if any, to call upon for help. Here, we explore the relationship between kinship and cooperation by drawing upon social support network data from two villages in South India. While these Tamil villages have a nominally male-biased kinship system (being patrilocal and patrilineal), matrilateral kin play essential social roles and many women reside in their natal villages, letting us tease apart the relative importance of genetic relatedness, kinship and residence in accessing social support. We find that people often name both their consanguineal and affinal kin as providing them with support, and we see some weakening of support with lesser relatedness. Matrilateral and patrilateral relatives are roughly equally likely to be named, and the greatest distinction instead is in their availability, which is highly contingent on post-marital residence patterns. People residing in their natal village have many more consanguineal relatives present than those who have relocated. Still, relocation has only a small effect on an individual’s network size, as non-natal residents are more reliant on the few kin that they have present, most of whom are affines. In sum, marriage patterns have an important impact on kin availability, but the flexibility offered by the broadening of the concept of kin helps people develop the cooperative relationships that they rely upon, even in the absence of genetic relatives. This article is part of the theme issue ‘The evolution of female-biased kinship in humans and other mammals’.

Abstract The investigation of vocal similarity between individuals has provided evidence of the flexibility of communication signals. This study evaluates the impact of group membership, affiliative bonds, kinship and dominance on acoustic similarity in two primate species with different social styles, intolerant rhesus macaques and tolerant Tonkean macaques. We focused on the fundamental frequencies of the contact calls emitted by adult females. Close kinship promoted vocal similarity between individuals in both species, and also group membership in Tonkean macaques, indicating the involvement of experiential and/or genetic factors. In rhesus macaques more similarities were observed between partners with strong or weak dominance asymmetry than between those with medium asymmetry, which again points to the role of experience. No evidence was found that dominance influences vocal similarity in Tonkean macaques. Our results provide additional evidence to the flexibility of vocal signals produced by macaques, and reveal that it is influenced by social style.

Abstract Contact and areal studies of kinship terminologies have by now received too little attention in social anthropology and linguistics. To fill in one of numerous research gaps, we investigated kinship terminologies of the Circum-Baltic (CB) area. We discovered many heterogeneous overlapping micro- and macro-convergences belonging to different temporal strata and contact situations. This was especially the case with loanwords, whereas certain calques had a wider spread covering most of the CB area. It suggests that semantic patterns may be more prone to borrowing than lexical items. The analysis of structural properties showed that CB kinship terminologies combine both West European and East European/West Asian strategies. It indicates that CB kinship terminologies indeed possess a marked combination of properties. However, most of them are shared with their neighbours, which confirms that the CB area is a Contact Superposition Zone as suggested in Koptjevskaja-Tamm and Wälchli (2001).

Abstract The universality of kinship terms means they are regarded, like much basic vocabulary, as resistant to borrowing. Kin term borrowings are documented at varying frequencies, but their role in the dynamics of change in this core social domain is understudied. We investigated the dimensions and the sociolinguistic contexts of kinship borrowings with 50 kinship categories from a global sample of 32 languages, a subset extracted from the World Loanword Database. We found that more borrowings take place in affinal kin categories and in generations denoting relatives older than ego. Close kin categories also have borrowings, but the borrowed items usually coexist with other, presumably non-borrowed variants. Colonisation and the spread of cultures and religions were main inducing forces for kin term borrowings; new terms often enter a language via bilingualism. These tentative patterns can be studied further with larger datasets in future systematic studies of kinship borrowings.

Many observers of contemporary China notice the revival of the so-called traditional culture. This includes the public presence of rituals and artefacts that relate with traditional kinship, such as ancestral halls. This article explores a case in Shenzhen, the Huang lineage and the larger surname group. A methodological issue looms large: What exactly was the “tradition” that is perceived as reviving? The field of historical studies on Chinese kinship is a highly contested domain, especially regarding the nature and role of lineages. Therefore, we designed our article as a “conceptual case study”: we reflect upon the state of our knowledge about Chinese kinship in the traditional sense, develop a tentative conceptual framework, and apply this on our case. Central issues include the relationship between descent as constructed and performed via kinship rituals and patterns of cooperation among members of a lineage and the wider surname group.

Full textAbstract:
Based on eight interviews with Danish gay male couples and one gay man, who had or were planning to become fathers through transnational commercial surrogacy, I examine the ways the men form family subjectivities between traditional kinship patterns and fundamentally new forms of kinship and family. Arguing that class, mobility, and privilege should also be understood as relational and negotiated positions, I show that gay men engaged in surrogacy must be understood as more flexible and differentiated. Second, I show how kinship as synonymous with biogenetic relatedness is supplemented by notions of kinship as devotion, individual will and determination, and reproductive desire in order to strengthen the men’s affinity to their children. Last, I examine how the men negotiate and work within the given structures of heteronormativity and Whiteness and rework notions of parenthood while at the same time reaffirming old hierarchizations of racialized and sexualized forms of procreation and families.

Full textAbstract:
So far, Croatian migrant families have been predominantly studied within the scope of theoretical questions oriented toward ethnicity and their role as the guardians of ethnic/national identity. Going beyond the ethnic lens of those studies, the article focuses on an exploration of family structures and the social functioning of wider kinship networks in the migration context as well as an understanding of how migrants conceive of ethnic/national identity. By highlighting the complex entanglements of traditional family patterns (patrilocality, seniority, and gender roles), transnational kinship networks and “a little tradition of ethnic/national identity” held by migrants, this article seeks to establish autonomous research into family processes among Croatian migrants and to make a rapprochement between classical anthropological research of family and kinship and migration studies.

Full textAbstract:
Kinship studies are certainly a hallmark for anthropology as a discipline. Yet, it has been more than a decade since Social Anthropology / Anthropologie Sociale has published a paper on kinship (except for a review article by Giovanna Bacchiddu [2015] on two books about international adoption and the reconfiguration of the American family model). We have to go back as far as the late 2000’s to read one, when Warren Shapiro wrote a peremptory critique of Susan McKinnon's book in which the latter had strongly argued against “neo-Darwinian biological assumptions” underpinning the kinship theories developed by evolutionary psychology. The long absence of kinship from issues of this journal elicits an obvious comment: it was about time Social Anthropology / Anthropology Sociale devotes a full issue to this topic and engages with recent ethnographic theory on kinship and kinship matters. While we don't believe that it is our role as new editorial team to ponder the reasons for the omission of this topic, let us simply notice the major turn in kinship studies as a beginning for explanation. At the turn of the century, kinship as a topic has evolved from theoretical discussions about “systems” and social organization to a urge for describing and understanding new patterns of relatedness, transnational families, parenting, and adopting. Entire journals were created out of the need to explore ignored and emerging universes of relatedness and reimagine family studies. Despite the seismic shift from concerns about terminologies, ways and varieties of affiliation, and primary forms of structuring human lives to questions of care, parenting, and having kin, kinship studies have not been the hotspot of anthropological debate for years. However, they have consistently been addressed by books reviewed for this journal.

Full textAbstract:
This study uses the tools of corpus linguistics to investigate ascending kinship terminology in the Linguistic Atlas of the Middle Rockies, a collection of interviews gathered in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming as part of a dialectological survey of the American West. Relying in part on the framework of Dahl and Koptjevskaja-Tamm (2001), particularly with respect to their notion of a parental kin prototype, the study examines lexical and grammatical variation in the use of terms for parents and grandparents in different interviewing contexts in an effort to identify patterns in these distributions. The study finds important quantitative differences in the distribution of mother and father, as well as differences in the grammatical behavior of these and other kinship variants. While these results provide some support for a parental kin prototype, they also suggest the benefits that survey data collected within a variationist framework offer such a prototype, both with respect to the counterexamples to broad generalizations that such datasets inevitably include as well as the variable patterns that often emerge from such data that might go unobserved using formal methods.

This study aims to find out how kinship politics in village government in Lobulayan Sigordang Village, West Angkola District, South Tapanuli Regency includes the causal factors and patterns of the existence of kinship politics. This research is a case study research using a qualitative descriptive method. Data collection techniques in this study include observation, interviews, and documentation. In determining the research subjects used purposive sampling technique, so in this study the research subjects were the Head of Lobulayan Sigordang Village, Secretary of Lobulayan Sigordang Village, Head of Government Section, Head of Community Section, Head of Financial Affairs, and Head of Planning Affairs. The research data were obtained through observations, interviews, and documentation, then processed and analyzed by first reducing the data then displaying the data in tabular form and the last narrative description drawing conclusions on the findings of the research data. Based on the research that has been done, there is kinship politics in the village government in Lobulayan Sigordang village, the manifestation of kinship politics is seen from the election of village officials who occupy village officials positions that are not based on their abilities or not through a predetermined procedure, but rather based on on consideration of good kinship because of blood ties, marital ties, and clans. The factors behind kinship politics in Lobulayan Sigordang village are: low level of education, assessing that kinship politics is not a wrong thing, and feelings of not being betrayed by family or relatives in running the village government.

Full textAbstract:
Although not a new topic, there is a growing trend in ethnology to interpret changing kinship terminology, social organization, and marriage practices deep into prehistory. These efforts are largely guided by phylogenetic, neoevolutionary, and historical particularist theoretical models using 19th to 20th century ethnographically recorded kin terminology. However, the “high-level” theoretical models and their assumptions are untestable without data dating to prehistory. Archeological kinship analysis based on cross-cultural “mid-level” factual correspondence between social organization and patterns in material culture, which is not biased by any given “high-level” theory, can empirically test the ethnological models and assumptions. Archeological case studies on the Chontal Maya and Hohokam illustrate problems in phylogenetic, neoevolutionary, and historical particularist theoretical assumptions. Instead, the results are consistent with contemporary anthropological theory emphasizing practice and agency within historically contingent political economic social contexts.

This study examines the determination of employment and pay on “capitalist” and “kinship” vessels in the New England fishing industry. Capitalist vessels resemble standard competitive firms in the way that employment and pay respond to changing market conditions; kinship vessels operate under work guarantees and income sharing rules. These differences in institutional rules lead to different patterns of income, employment, growth, and labor adjustment. The study shows how an understanding of the institutional structure of labor markets can contribute to the design of public policies to facilitate adjustment to change and to promote industrial growth.

Traditional anthropology in the vein of Morgan (1871) distinguishes between descriptive and classificatory kinship terms. Mainstream US English father functions as a descriptive term, as it conventionally only indicates one relationship type: `'ego's begetter'. In contrast, Aboriginal English father functions as a classificatory term, as it conventionally indicates both 'ego's begetter' and `'ego's begetter's brother'. We propose that it is possible to study classificatory kinship in the same manner that we study morphological syncretism in nominal and verbal paradigms. We propose toy features for kinship and demonstrate that Murdock's (1949) classical hexapartite typology of kinship patterns is best thought of as a set of metasyncretisms (Harley 2008) generated by impoverishment. In theoretical terms, we contribute to the broader research program of Crossmodular Structural Parallelism (Nevins 2008), in that we argue that kintactic features may interact and be modified in ways homologous to phonological and morphological features. In empirical terms, we provide a genealogically diverse sample of underdescribed language-specific kincretisms outside of the broader Murdockian typology, with an emphasis on kincretisms that involve affinal terms.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Referential kinship terms in Matukar Panau (Oceanic, Papua New Guinea) are obligatorily possessed. Traditionally, kinship terms are directly possessed in Oceanic languages (with an obligatory suffix on the root that agrees with the person and number of the possessor). In Matukar Panau, some kinship terms are also indirectly possessed (with a classifier that agrees with the person and number of the possessor). A third pattern shows double-marking of possessors with directly possessed terms co-occurring with a classifier. I present a multivariate analysis of the predictors that influence the choice of the direct, indirect or double-marked patterns. Older women and younger men are most likely to use the indirect pattern, particularly when discussing their own kin from their households, especially in conversational situations. The indirect possession pattern, then, is used for more integral relationships, what has previously been the semantic domain of direct possession in Oceanic.

AbstractCohabitation is a distinctive feature of low-income groups in Latin America. In the past, it has been linked to colonial legacies including notions of familial honour, poverty, and a kinship system focused on blood ties. By contrast, some scholars consider rising levels of cohabitation in the present day to be an effect of modernisation, through increased gender equality. The present research, based on life histories of young, poor, urban co-habitees in Chile, aims to show that rising cohabitation is linked to targeted social policies and also to declining patriarchy, which is distinct from gender equality.
