Sibling relationships are full of intrigue, yet tend to be
overlooked in sociological thinking. This book draws upon
innovative qualitative data sources to explore the significance of
siblings throughout the life course, demonstrating why sociologists
ought to pay attention to siblingship. Focussing on four themes
central to the discipline of sociology - self, relationality,
imagination and time - the book shows why siblings matter. Grounded
in theories of relatedness but spanning theoretical work on
generation, life course, emotion, sensory worlds, normativity and
identity, Siblings and sociology explores the importance of
siblings in everyday life and how they inform wider social
processes: the relational construction of identity, the inculcation
of capital, experiences of institutions like schools and the
meanings of relatedness. Siblings tap into profound questions about
who we are and who we can become. This book shows how the intrigue
of siblingship renders them an important lens through which to
think in new ways about familiar sociological ideas. Siblings and
sociology demonstrates why siblings are a fascinating subject for
sociologists: a relationship that can influence all aspects of
life, as well as an object of scrutiny capable of firing the
sociological imagination and directing the analytical gaze. -- .
