- W811279478 abstract "Central to the euro-american assumptions of natural kinship is the idea of biogenetic kinship. Conception, symbolized through sexual intercourse of the potential parents, thereby constitutes the basis for natural and social kinship. Natural kinship and the resulting relationships are understood as inseparable, opposed to kinship that is only based on social contracts (i.e. through marriage). As natural kinship is constituted through body and bodily substances, male and female contributions to procreation are assigned fundamental importance. This perception and definition is in no way universal, but is characteristic for euro-american societies. Reproductive technologies that are concerned with the production of human life opened up the possibility of replacing sexual intercourse by bringing together egg and sperm outside of the body. In that respect they are touching a core concept of the cultural construction of kinship. The body has become the most important medium through which kinship is constructed in post-industrial societies, not least, because of scientific research and biogenetic knowledge. As the body presents not just a physical quantity but is also acknowledged as the embodiment of the self, conceptions of body and self are forming a theoretical background for the analysis of my data. The dissertation explores, how cultural ideas and values influence the handling of reproductive technologies in Germany and examines if and how perceptions and significance of kinship on the conditions of the reproductive technologies have been modified. The constitution of kinship through the body is in any case indispensable; for this reason the reproductive technologies tend to produce physical kinship between parents and children at least through one parent. Particular social emphasis is then placed on this contribution to the relation. The contribution given by a donor - and this is especially truthful when talking of a sperm donor - is made socially invisible, meaning the genetic father is of no social importance. This intended anonymity aiming at making specific social relationships invisible or preventing their development is a central aspect of dealing with bodily substances in euro-american cultures. In this dissertation the anthropology of kinship as a central domain of cultural anthropology with its specific scientific knowledge and understandings is applied to a complex society. That opens up the possibility to point out the particular characteristics of the cultural constructions of kinship, body and self. The present work demonstrates various discourses specific for different contexts and social groups and investigates their relations to each other. These discourses are results of direct or indirect discussions and confrontations with the reproductive technologies in Germany. As discourses cannot be looked at without taking into consideration concrete actions and decisions, I examine the processes that lead people to particular decisions as well as the hereby derived actions and their consequences. I take a look at the general social set-ups regulating the fields of application of reproductive technologies by assuming that they comprise particular assumptions towards ethical values especially concerning the concept of kinship through procreation (Blutsverwandtschaft) and the implicated relationships. The analytical dissociation of body and embodiment (Leib) allows to analyse the fields of tension between on the one hand the body as merely an object of reproductive treatments and on the other hand the subjective body-feeling of the people who are directly affected by the technologies or are dealing with them. The dissertation shows discrepancies and breaks on the part of the affected couples as well as on the part of the medical profession in dealing with traditional concepts of kinship, conception and procreation. The included consideration of adoptive and foster parents for reasons of comparison opens up the possibility to analyse the polyphonic (here meaning contrary views and assumptions according to different contexts of action) and gives the chance to investigate the constitution of kinship in the tension-field of body and self-identity, embodiment (Leib) as well as social kinship." @default.
