| This essay critically evaluates Judith Butler's recent writings on kinship. In this work, Butler challenges the universalist assumptions of psychoanalysis, hoping to lay the analytical groundwork for imagining new forms of familial relationship. Butler examines the way that anthropology and psychoanalysis have constructed the incest taboo as necessitating hereronormative forms of kinship. Butler's critique of kinship, which drwas on her theories of subjection, belies her own attachment to a vision of social life occupied primarily by normative institutions. In particular the state, I suggest that new forms of kinship must be understood on their own terms. Whether or not they are accorded legitimacy in law or accepted by psychoanalysis. Anthropology's ethnographic practice can emendate an account of subjection and recognition that obsessively looks into to institutions an dnorms even as it criticizes them | |
