Paternity and fatherhood: is there more than an etymological
difference between these two apparently synonymous terms? What do
we understand by "paternity" and "fatherhood?" These crucial
questions lie at the heart of this collection of essays selected
from the humanities and social sciences. As an anthropological
document, this book offers compelling evidence to support the
premise that there is a profound difference between the biological
reality of paternity and the cultural construct of fatherhood. At
the same time, the theories of Freud and Lacan provide a background
for many of the author's critical explorations of a kaleidoscope of
literary texts, legal documents, case histories, painting and
letters. Through their discussion of the relations, attitudes,
emotions and values generated by the paternity/fatherhood
distinction, the essays in this collection broaden our
understanding of how dichotomy has evolved in Western societies and
offer insights into its manifestations in some post-colonial
cultures.
