Some of the changes impacting the family might hurt the basic conditions of our own human development: the solidarity between family and community; the future of parental relationship; the difference between genders and generations; and the goal of educational practices. - Marie-Claude Blais, French philosopher and sociologist\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe family institution is undergoing a radical transformation. The modern meanings of kinship, marriage, parenthood, gender, and sexuality are now being questioned, and debates on same-sex marriages and parenthood or on divorce and blended families are reflective of these challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe (Un)Making of the Modern Family\u003c\/em\u003e is neither an indictment of the new family nor a rallying cry. It is a classical exercise of family sociology that draws upon a range of disciplines – history, anthropology, psychology, and demography – to provide an interpretive model for understanding contemporary changes in the family. It explores traditional family forms in order to identify changes that gave birth to the ideal type of the modern family, and it discusses how the modern family's constituent elements (the family as institution, conjugal and parent-child relationships, and gender and sexuality) relate to modernity's central feature – the concept of the individual. By reconstructing an archetype of the modern family, this book explains why individuals have experienced its deconstruction as a profound identity crisis. It will appeal to anyone concerned with the future of the (post)modern family and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished originally by Les Presses de l'Université Laval as \u003cem\u003eLa fin de la famille moderne\u003c\/em\u003e, this book was awarded the 2000-1 Prix Jean-Charles Falardeau for the best book published in French in Canada in the field of social sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 The Ideal Type of the Modern Family \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Family Ties: The Domain of Kinship \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 The Question of Private and Public Spheres \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 The Parental Role \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Gender, Gender Differences, and Sexuality \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 The Conjugal Relationship \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 The French-Canadian Family \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 Contemporary Changes in the Family: What Do They Mean?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEpilogue \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfterword \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReferences \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndex \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52531054084376,"sku":"9780774815215","price":24.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-unmaking-of-the-modern-family-paperback-softback-9780774815215","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
