SUMMARY:Bettina Beer: "The Reconfiguration of Kin Networks through Separati
 on and Estrangement"
DESCRIPTION:Intimate relationships form part of the continuum of social com
 mitment that has gained attention in New Kinship Studies (NKS)\, focusing 
 on the interactions that create and sustain them\, thereby emphasising rel
 atedness through interaction rather than procreative connections. While NK
 S has focused on the creation and maintenance of intimate relations\, the 
 presented research explores interactions that result in the transformation
  or termination of such relations\, on what we take to be the reasonable a
 ssumption that the anthropology of kinship needs to take account of both t
 he procreative relations between people and the sociological trajectories 
 that can sustain or erode intimate relations. The researchers are conducti
 ng three empirical studies: estrangement between parents and adult childre
 n in Switzerland\, marriage dissolution in the Philippines\, and bureaucra
 tic separation of parents and their children in Russia.\\r\\nBettina Beer 
 received her PhD in anthropology from the University of Hamburg\, in 1995\
 , with a dissertation titled "German-Philippine Marriages. Interethnic mar
 riages and the migration of Women". She habilitated in 2001 with a project
  on "Body concepts\, interethnic relations and theories of racism".
