Key concepts: Coming of age, gender, family, & belonging
Over the next two weeks we focus on the building blocks of human connection, namely, kinship, family and belonging. Kinship remains one part of the ‘currency of life’ performing a foundational role in identify construction. The anthropological study of kinship encompasses how individuals are related to one another through biological, legal and symbolic/social means. Kinship defines our universe of kin and in many cultural contexts that extends beyond the human, to include various aspects of the world. The films we view in Weeks 8 and 9 frame kinship through the lens of coming of age, and gender, offering up rich cross-cultural illustrations of what it takes to grow up through connectedness.
