Kinship - Part 1: Kinship Structures

Описание: Anthropologist and ethnographic filmmaker Robert Lemelson provides an overview of kinship and an anthropological perspective on family structures. This video outlines cultural variations on marriage and descent, covering classical topics in kinship such as monogamy, polygamy, and variations of patrilineal and matrilineal descent. To go deeper, watch the following four AnthroDorphins videos in the series to learn about siblinghood; part two on family dynamics and part three on the oedipus complex; part four about contemporary family making; and part five, which addresses the manipulation of kinship for political and religious purposes.
