This collection of papers, the third in a series of volumes on the work of the Comparative Austronesian Project, explores indigenous Austronesian ideas of origin, ancestry and alliance and considers the comparative significance of these ideas in social practice. The papers examine social practice in a diverse range of societies extending from insular Southeast Asia to the islands of the Pacific.

La question de l’émergence des activités symboliques au cours de l’hominisation fait désormais l’objet d’une attention renouvelée de la part des chercheurs. En témoigne ce volume issu de journées tenues à la station biologique de l’École normale supérieure durant lesquelles anthropologues, linguistes, modélisateurs et philosophes du groupe de travail « Modélisation de l’émergence du langage » ont, avec leurs invités britanniques, dressé un état de la question et présenté leurs travaux. Sont reproduits ici, après une introduction en français visant à situer les débats d’un point de vue général, les exposés en anglais de trois anthropologues. Loin de présenter une unanimité de façade, ces exposés montrent au contraire la diversité des points de vue sur le front avancé des recherches contemporaines. Étudiants et chercheurs trouveront dans ces textes matière à réflexion anthropologique et philosophique à propos de la question si complexe de l’émergence de la culture.

Queer communal kinship is a long overdue replacement for the naturalized model of the modern western family; a post-capitalist regime of social reproduction, aiming for redistributive justice through the politics of pleasure; a timely proposal for the demise of possessive and accumulative ideology, and the upsurge of a counter-imaginary; a manifesto for the collectivization of reproductive labor; an ethical conceptual framework for a joyful cultural shift: Queer Communal Kinship Now! This manifesto pushes for a radical redefinition of love, intimacy, and care in support of a much needed redistributive justice movement. This project must be accompanied by an exit from heteronormativity as a regime of relational scarcity, as well as from the metaphysics of private property which is at the heart of our economies and by extension of our social ecologies -- at odds with much of life on this planet. Queer Communal Kinship Now! examines the role of western normative family ideals in the mechanisms of the preservation and intensification of this status quo, as well as potential approaches to guide us out of this unsavory situation. Both handbook and personal narrative, Queer Communal Kinship Now! discusses the conceptual leaps required to emancipate ourselves from the conventional western family model, towards different regimes of bonding, care, and attention, to allow us to imagine a different type of social reality driven by queer and feminist ethical concerns. Directed to those interested in building queer families and wondering how not to repeat the mistakes of their parents, Queer Communal Kinship Now! offers radical ways of rethinking being together.

When we think of kinship, we usually think of ties between people based upon blood or marriage. But we also have other ways—nowadays called ‘performative’—of establishing kinship, or hinting at kinship: many Christians have, in addition to parents, godparents; members of a trade union may refer to each other as ‘brother’ or ‘sister’. Similar performative ties are even more common among the so-called ‘tribal’ peoples that anthropologists have studied and, especially in recent years, they have received considerable attention from scholars in this field. However, these scholars tend to argue that performative kinship in the Tribal World is semantically on a par with kinship established through procreation and marriage. Harold Scheffler, long-time Professor of Anthropology at Yale University, has argued, by contrast, that procreative ties are everywhere semantically central, i.e. focal, that they provide bases from which other kinship ties are extended. Most of the essays in this volume illustrate the validity of Scheffler’s position, though two contest it, and one exemplifies the soundness of a similarly universalistic stance in gender behaviour. This book will be of interest to everyone concerned with current controversy in kinship and gender studies, as well as those who would know what anthropologists have to say about human nature.

Issued by UCLA's Center for Human Complex Systems, this journal includes research dedicated to the ethnography and theory of kinship and covers current systematic efforts using new data or new ideas, including the use of these data and ideas to revisit and rework earlier assumptions in the field. It covers a wide range of kinship-based cross-cultural practices ranging from incest to marriage, to avoidances, to kin terms, to succession, to contemporary forms of motherhood, fatherhood, and family, and more.

L'argument de la filiation est souvent invoqué par les anthropologues à l'appui des débats qui les opposent, au cœur de leur discipline, sur ce qui est donné, commun à l'ensemble des sociétés humaines, et ce qui est construit dans des contextes culturels particuliers. Quoi de plus « naturel », de plus « universel » en effet que cette relation filiative qui répond aux nécessités de la reproduction sexuée de l'espèce, invariant qui relève des mêmes évidences que la distinction des sexes ? Le présent ouvrage, présenté sous la forme d'un recueil de textes, réunit des spécialistes de différentes disciplines - anthropologues, historiens, juristes - qui explorent la manière, relativement convergente, dont la filiation est établie dans des sociétés, anciennes et modernes, situées autour de la Méditerranée. Ces sociétés, polythéistes ou relevant des trois grandes religions monothéistes nées dans cette aire, donnent à voir des agencements qui lient la filiation, et plus largement la parenté, à la constitution de l'ordre social et cosmique. Des pratiques d'alliance de mariage dans la proximité consanguine brouillent le calcul de la filiation, la distinction des lignées paternelle et maternelle, celle de l'ascendance et de la descendance… Les récits d'origine aussi bien que la manière de dire le droit expriment les débats qui s'ouvrent ainsi et sous-tendent la définition des règles de prohibition de l'inceste. Ces débats sont renouvelés dans le contexte contemporain de développement des techniques de procréation assistée. Ils montrent que la définition et le calcul de la filiation n'interviennent pas seulement dans le champ particulier de la parenté, mais déterminent aussi la transmission intergénérationnelle des biens matériels et symboliques, ainsi que les identités et les statuts, éventuellement les titres politiques ; ils relèvent simultanément de la codification du droit.

The problem of fraternal relations in the early Middle Ages has not been hitherto studied in detail, especially in comparison with the multitude of studies dealing with the models of marriage, gender-based social roles, or the relations between generations. Historians have been often prone to assume that relations between siblings in European culture were naturally constant, based on loyalty, solidarity, and readiness to act in the common interest, stemming from blood ties. However, this conviction equates the category of brotherhood/fraternitas used by medieval authors with concepts associated with sources from later periods. This study does not concern narrowly defined family history, but is an attempt to examine fraternal relations in the early Middle Ages as a multidimensional cultural phenomenon. As the author seeks to demonstrate, it is difficult to speak of kinship in the ninth century and later without being aware of the religious and ideological implications of the transformations taking place at the time, even if direct traces of the impact of moralizing and theological teachings on the conduct of individuals are hard to capture in the sources.
