Siblings and sociology - Head Work

by Katherine Davies

Description

Sibling relationships are full of sociological intrigue. Siblings can pervade our everyday lives, shaping our identities and relationships through the life course, tapping into profound questions about who we are and who we can become, about family, relatedness, self and time. It is surprising then that sociologists have paid little attention to these lateral ties. Drawing upon innovative qualitative data sources and focussing on four key themes in sociological thought - self, relationality, imagination and time - Siblings and Sociology addresses this omission by exploring the sociological significance of siblingship. Grounded in theories of relatedness but spanning theoretical work on generation, life course, emotion, sensory worlds, normativity and identity, Siblings and Sociology demonstrates how and why siblings matter, asking what sociological insights can be gained by using siblingship as a lens through which to re-examine these familiar sociological ideas.
