Love, hate, sexual experience, the shaping of gender roles, suffering and survival strategies are pursued as the sibling exchange. A work to provoke thought and discussion packed with real life and literary evidence.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eOlwen Hufton University of Oxford\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"In 1974, Mitchell’s \u003ci\u003ePsychoanalysis and Feminism\u003c\/i\u003e offered a major challenge to a resistant Anglo-Saxon feminism with her compelling case that psychoanalysis, most often seen by feminists to be part of the problem, was rather a powerful resource for feminist explanation and understanding of male domination, female oppression. Almost thirty years on, with \u003ci\u003eSiblings\u003c\/i\u003e, she has made a second, perhaps even more radical intervention. Her analysis of the lateral relations of siblings and peers promises to transform many of the recurrent issues and debates of contemporary feminism. ...

Yet in the social, psychological and political sciences, there is no theoretical paradigm through which we might understand them. In the Western world our thought is completely dominated by a vertical model, by patterns of descent or ascent: mother or father to child, or child to parent. Yet our ideals are ‘liberty, equality and fraternity’ or the ‘sisterhood’ of feminism; our ethnic wars are the violence of ‘fratricide’.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen we grow up, siblings feature prominently in sex, violence and the construction of gender differences but they are absent from our theories. This book examines the reasons for this omission and begins the search for a new paradigm based on siblings and lateral relationships.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be essential reading for those studying sociology, psychoanalysis and gender studies.
