Who are we with-and without-families? How do we relate as children
to our parents, as parents to our children? How are parent-child
relationships-and familial relationships in general-made and (not)
maintained? Informed by narrative, performance studies,
poststructuralism, critical theory, and queer theory, contributors
to this collection use autoethnography-a method that uses the
personal to examine the cultural-to interrogate these questions.
The essays write about/around issues of interpersonal distance and
closeness, gratitude and disdain, courage and fear, doubt and
certainty, openness and secrecy, remembering and forgetting,
accountability and forgiveness, life and death. Throughout, family
relationships are framed as relationships that inspire and inform,
bind and scar-relationships replete with presence and absence, love
and loss. An essential text for anyone interested in
autoethnography, personal narrative, identity, relationships, and
family communication.
