A topic that affects us all – family. Everyone has it, and everyone has it differently. Contributions from newspapers, academia, forums, and blogs, along with literary texts, personal accounts, and photographic works, open up a global kaleidoscope of historical and current perspectives – subtly commented on by comics by Nando von Arb. An invitation to reflect on one's own image of family.
This unconventional book breaks with common notions of a normative "nuclear family" and gathers voices from around the world in a variety of snapshots. Who belongs to the family, what economic and social function does it perform, what shapes family, and how does it shape us? Central themes of local debates across the globe demonstrate how complex and diverse, but also how similar, images of family are across cultures.
