  • What is a parent?
    Strathern, Marilyn

    HAU journal of ethnographic theory, 09/2011, Letnik: 1, Številka: 1
    Journal Article

    Drafted in 1991, this paper lies at an intersection of interests in debates following the UK Human Fertilization and Embryology Act (1990), academic discussions about interpretation, first sightings of fractal imagery, then recent modelings of Melanesian sociality, and in the role of knowledge in English kinship thinking. Inspired by questions about parenthood and kinship posed of West African materials by Houseman, it explores certain comparisons—and the possibility of comparison—between motherhood and fatherhood.
