The word "blood" awakens ancient ideas, but we know little about
its historical representation in Western cultures. Anthropologists
have customarily studied how societies think about the bodily
substances that unite them, and the contributors to this volume
develop those questions in new directions. Taking a radically
historical perspective that complements traditional cultural
analyses, they demonstrate how blood and kinship have constantly
been reconfigured in European culture. This volume challenges the
idea that blood can be understood as a stable entity, and shows how
concepts of blood and kinship moved in both parallel and divergent
directions over the course of European history.
