This edited collection brings together two strands of current
discussions in gender research through the concept of creativity.
First, it addresses creativity in the context of the family, by
exploring changing and newly emergent family forms and ways of
creating and maintaining intimate relationships. Creativity here is
understood not as just "newness or originality," but as that which,
in the words of Eisler and Montouri (2007), "supports, nurtures,
and actualizes life by increasing the number of choices open to
individuals and communities." One aim of this book, therefore, is
to investigate the social, collaborative, and creative interactions
in contemporary family and kin formations in Europe. Second, the
volume examines how new media and technologies are entering and
shaping everyday family lives. Technological transformations and
adaptions have not only enabled the creation of new forms of
families and ways of family living, but also challenged the
established constellations of gender and family arrangements. The
present volume addresses these issues from multiple perspectives
and in different contexts, and explores the involvement of
different actors. By problematizing the creativity of becoming and
"doing" family and kinship, the authors acknowledge the increasing
fluidity of gender identities, the evolving diversity of
relationships, and the permeation of technology into daily life.
