In this book, Hannes Charen presents an alternative examination of
kinship structures in political theory. Employing a radically
transdisciplinary approach, On the Politics of Kinship is
structured in a series of six theoretical vignettes or frames. Each
chapter frames a figure, aspect, or relational context of the
family or kinship. Some chapters are focused on a critique of the
family as a state-sanctioned institution, while others cautiously
attempt to recast kinship in a way to reimagine mutual obligation
through the generation of kinship practices understood as a
perpetually evolving set of relational responses to finitude. In
doing so, Charen considers the ways in which kinship is a plastic
social response to embodied exposure, both concealed and made more
evident in the bloated, feeble, and broken individualities and
nationalities that seem to dominate our social and political
landscape today. On the Politics of Kinship will be of interest to
political theorists, feminists, anthropologists, and social
scientists in general.
