“The family-- predicated on the privatization of that which should be common, and on proprietary concepts of couple, blood, gene, and seed-- is a state institution, not a popular organism.” CareFamilyCapitalismAbolition Author:Sophie Lewis
“...I submit that kinship, at least right now, is always a reference to something that is imagined to be inerasable; to "nature." Perhaps one day it will be fit for purpose again, who knows? Perhaps because the concept of nature has itself been turned inside out. But right now, even when it is conceptualized as practice-based, kinship functions as a linguistic appeal to something non-contingent that can ground a relation. And I am asking: can we suspend that fantasy of something non-contingent? Can we let go of it?” NatureFamilyAbolitionKin Book:Die Familie abschaffen: Wie wir Care-Arbeit und Verwandtschaft neu erfinden Source: Die Familie abschaffen: Wie wir Care-Arbeit und Verwandtschaft neu erfinden
