This book speaks to the meanings and values that inhere in close
relations, focusing on 'family' and 'kinship' but also looking
beyond these categories. Multifaceted, diverse and subject to
constant debate, close relations are ubiquitous in human lives on
embodied as well as symbolic levels. Closely related to processes
of power, legibility and recognition, close relations are
surrounded by boundaries that both constrain and enable their
practical, symbolical and legal formation. Carefully
contextualising close relations in relation to different national
contexts, but also in relation to gender, sexuality, race, religion
and dis/ability, the volume points to the importance of and
variations in how close relations are lived, understood and
negotiated. Grounded in a number of academic areas and disciplines,
ranging from legal studies, sociology and social work to literary
studies and ethnology, this volume also highlights the value of
using inter- and multidisciplinary scholarly approaches in research
about close relations. Chapter 11 is available open access under a
