Abstract

In diesem Lehr- und Studienbuch werden die vielfältigsten familiensoziologischen Themen behandelt: familialer Wandel, Familie und Kinderbetreuungsinstitutionen, die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Familie und Schule sowie Arbeitswelt, die familialen Auswirkungen der gestiegenen regionalen Mobilität und der Entwicklung der digitalen Medien, das Problem der Ehescheidung, die Transferleistungen innerhalb der Mehrgenerationenfamilie, die gesamtgesellschaftliche Bedeutung von Verwandtschaft und Vererbungspraktiken, die Auswirkungen von Armut und Gewalt, aber auch von familienpolitischen Maßnahmen sowie der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe. Darüber hinaus wird die Zukunftsperspektive von Familie thematisiert. Der Band präsentiert die diesbezüglichen aktuellsten empirischen Forschungsergebnisse und zeigt die noch offenen Fragen und Forschungslücken auf. In allen Kapiteln werden vor allem die durch den abgelaufenen Modernisierungs- und Differenzierungsprozess entstandenen Veränderungen, Probleme, Spannungen und Konflikte analysiert. Insofern stehen die einzelnen Beiträge - verfasst von renommierten Soziologen bzw. Soziologinnen an deutschen und ausländischen Universitäten - nicht additiv nebeneinander, sondern diese Perspektive bildet die konzeptionelle Rahmung des Buches.

Abstract

This book examines the impact sisters and brothers had on eighteenth-century English families and society. Using evidence from letters, diaries, probate disputes, court transcripts, prescriptive literature and portraiture, it argues that although parents' wills often recommended their children 'share and share alike', siblings had to constantly negotiate between prescribed equality and practiced inequalities. Siblinghood and social relations in Georgian England, which will be the first monograph-length analysis of early modern siblings in England, is primed to be at the forefront of sibling studies. The book is intended for a broad audience of scholars - particularly those interested in families, women, children and eighteenth-century social and cultural history.

Abstract

The literature of the European Middle Ages attends closely to the relationship of brother and sister, laying bare sibling behaviours in their most dramatic forms as models to emulate, to marvel at orto avoid. The literary treatment of siblings opens up multiple perspectives on brothers' and sisters' emotions: love, hate, rivalry, desire, nurturing and ambivalence underlie sibling stories. These narratives are in turn inflected by rank, social context and most crucially, gender.
This book examines these sibling relationships, focusing on the important vernacular literatures of Iceland, France, England and Germany, and building on recent research on siblings in psychology, history and social science. Multiple and subtle patterns in sibling interaction are teased out, such as the essential sibling task of "borderwork" (the establishment of individuality despite genetic resemblance), and the tensions caused by the easy substitutability of one sibling for another in certain social situations. When the sibling bond is extended to the in-law relation, complex emotional, strategic and political forces and powerful ambivalences nuance the relationship still further. Quasi-siblings: foster- or sworn-brothers complete the sibling picture in ways which reflect and contrast with the sibling blood-tie. Carolyne Larrington is a Fellow and Tutor in medieval English literatureat St John's College, University of Oxford.
