Queer Belongings: Kinship Theory and Queer Theory (original) (raw)
AI-generated Abstract
This paper examines the intersections of kinship theory and queer theory, emphasizing the complexities surrounding identity and social structures. It critiques the tendency in queer studies to dissociate sexual identity from kinship, arguing for an integrated understanding that recognizes how kinship influences and is influenced by sexual discourse, especially in the context of capitalism. Through illustrative examples from queer life, it proposes that alternative kinship practices reveal historical and generational fluidity, challenging normative expectations and articulating a queer sense of belonging over time.
