Ethnicity and Kinship in North American and European Literatures de Silvia Schultermandl

Ethnicity and Kinship in North American and European Literatures: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature

Editat de Silvia Schultermandl, Klaus Rieser
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2023
This edited collection applies kinship as an analytical concept to better understand the affective economies, discursive practices, and aesthetic dimensions through which cultural narratives of belonging establish a sense of intimacy and affiliation. In North American and European ethnic literatures, kinship has several social functions: negotiating diasporic belonging in and outside of the perimeters of bloodlines and genealogy; positioning queer-feminist interventions to counter ethno-nationalist narratives of belonging; challenging liberal sentimentalist narratives, such as those grafted onto the bodies of transnational adoptees; re-formulating cultural heterogeneity through interracial and interethnic kinship constellations outside either post-racial assumptions about colorblindness or celebrations of racial and ethnic pluralism. In all of these cases, kinship features as a common theme through which contemporary authors attend to challenges of conscribing individuals into inclusive, counter-hegemonic cultural narratives of belonging.

Recenzii

"Ethnicity and Kinship in North American and European Literatures is a gem of a book. Skilfully weaving together a range of approaches and orientations to kinship, this collection blends theory and emotion with a result that is satisfying to both heart and mind. This anthology disrupts static notions of family and kin and puts them back together in dynamic and affective ways. This book is essential reading for scholars of literary studies and anthropology but will enrich the scholarship of academics and students in an array of other disciplines." May Friedman, Associate Professor, Ryerson University
 
"Rieser and Schultermandl have assembled a spectacular range of essays on the social, legal, aesthetic, and affective practices through which kinship and belonging are mobilized. Collectively, the articles explore the transformation of intimate ties into kinship communities often premised on the exclusion of immigrant, racial, and sexual others. Working across anthropology, history, race studies, and queer theory in its explorations of relational bonds, Ethnicity and Kinship in North American and European Literatures is a must read for anyone interested in the topic." David L. Eng, Richard L. Fisher Professor of English, University of Pennsylvania
