Redefining Kinship: Exploring Childfree, Polyamorous, and Platonic Family Paradigms in Modern Society - Softcover
Synopsis
Redefining Kinship challenges the traditional Western "nuclear family" model—centered on heterosexual, monogamous marriage and biological children—by positioning it as a culturally specific construct rather than a universal law. Morissen argues that kinship is a fluid, "intentional" practice built on choice, care, and mutual support rather than just shared DNA.
Redefining Kinship is structured into several key themes:
- Historical & Cultural Foundations: It traces kinship from prehistoric survival-based labor pooling to agricultural inheritance systems and contemporary urban "chosen families".
- Alternative Paradigms: It examines three main non-traditional models:
- Childfree Living: Motivated by autonomy, personal fulfillment, and environmental stewardship.
- Polyamory: Relationships that move beyond monogamy to embrace multiple committed loves.
- Platonic Families: Kinship formed through deep friendship and collaborative caregiving without romantic or genetic ties.
- Societal Impact: Morissen discusses the legal and social hurdles these families face, such as lack of recognition in welfare or inheritance laws, while emphasizing their role in fostering social justice and inclusive belonging.
