• W280604762 abstract "Author(s): Myers, Kit | Abstract: My dissertation is about the of transnational/racial adoptive family-making. I define adoption and any statement affirming adoption as love--- or more specifically a loving act, statement, or possibility---that operates at the personal and familial; agency and industry; and legal and trans/national levels. But I also show how past and present transnational/racial adoptions from Asia to the United States are imbricated hidden or unmarked structural-historical, representational, and traumatic violence. My project answers the questions: How is defined and employed by the various actors-- adoptive parents, adoption agencies, and the state--who are involved transnational/racial adoptions? What role does racial difference play adoptive family-making? How is adoption a violent act? More specifically, how are constructions of il/legible and il/legitimate families shaped by adoption discourse, structures, and practices the United States? Each chapter of Race and the Violence of Love examines a different site of knowledge production about the transnational/racial adoptive family. Through archival, legal, new media, and ethnographic methods, I analyze positive adoption language and social scientific studies; legal discourse and practice; popular adoption discourse through blogs and their comments; and birth culture and adoptee summer camps. I make two claims to position how the violence of love relates to and functions adoptive family-making : 1) Adoption professionals and social scientists, government officials, the public, and adoptive parents have imagined and applied the concept of personal, symbolic, and (neo)liberal legal ways that transgressed normative biological, same-race, and same-nation kinship. These forms of have been used to normalize transnational/ racial adoption as a form of freedom from and in the best interest, where U.S. adoptive families and the United States are the better family and nation relation to the birth family and nation (or what I call opposite future) for the child need. 2) Such adoption representations and practices, however, are simultaneously and differently attached to intersecting and overlapping forms of structural-historical, representation, and traumatic that happen before, after, and outside of transnational/racial adoption. In other words, Race and the Violence of Love interrogates the configuration of the adoptive family as transgressive and non-normative but also the site for which racial and gendered subjects and global geographies as well as the idea of normative families and motherhood are simultaneously reconsolidated. The implications of this research include embracing adoption and family as non-normative and considering the generative possibilities of examining the of within adoptive-family relation to other sites of family and the home that exist such as childhood, marriage, im/migration, domestic work, nursing, and surrogacy" @default.
