Research seminar in Cultural Anthropology/Workshop. Annika Teppo. Wedding Anthropology
In the classic anthropological kinship studies, weddings have been examined mainly as rituals of transition and exchange. As the ideas of ’new kinship’ have gained popularity, focus has shifted to processes of relatedness and new ways of making kin relations such as assisted reproduction, polyamory and queer kinship. In this seminar we call for new approaches to wedding anthropology.
