Discussions on family trauma

  Definitions of the family vary—at least, this is the position currently held by the academic field of sociology. A historical-sociological question has been raised: has there ever truly been a single, unified definition of the family, or have specific family forms been imposed historically and sociologically through the dominant social structure? A prime example is a long-standing family model consisting of grandparents (or the parents of one of the spouses), the married couple, and their children. Of course, other, often stigmatized figures—such as lovers or mistresses, along with the children born from these unions—were also frequently integrated into the family sphere. While these relationships were largely viewed as "sins," there is evidence suggesting that, in some cases, these lovers were valued more highly than the legitimate legal spouses. Marriage was, most often, a business arrangement—a union of two sets of assets and social statuses. Love—if love was present at ...

Debata o družinski travmi

  Definicije družine so različne. Vsaj tako pozicijo je danes zavzela uradna stroka na področju sociologije. Postavilo se je namreč zgodovinsko sociološko vprašanje ali smo imeli sploh kdaj enovito definicijo družine ali pa so bile družine zgodovinsko in sociološko skozi dominantno družbeno strukturo vsiljene. Dober primer je že dolgo prakticirana oblika  družine, ki jo sestavljajo stari starši, oziroma starši enega od zakoncev ter mož in žena ter otroci. Seveda pa so bili vpeti vseskozi v družino tudi stigmatizirani drugi člani kot so ljubimci in ljubimke  ali ljubice vključno z otroci iz teh zvez. Ampak to so bili pač večinoma grehi, čeprav obstajajoči dokazi, da so bili ljubimci in ljubimke v nekaterih primerih več vredni kot legalni zakonski partnerji.  Zakonska zveza je bila največkrat poslovno združenje dveh premoženj in statusov. Ljubezen, v kolikor je bila ljubezen, in spolno potešitev ali pa samo strast ali pa celo modno muho prešuštva, pa se je iskalo izven...

Demography and the State

  In the modern era, as the decisive economic factor—whether derived from the parents' or guardians' household or from the couple's own independent resources—has lost its traditional weight, the state has stepped in to compensate. Consequently, demography has become a matter of state concern. Indeed, demographic statistics are tracked at the level of the state, rather than along national, religious, or other lines. Furthermore, the state attempts to influence demographic trends through public incentives designed to encourage family formation and, specifically, the birth rate. This state intervention has, in effect, displaced the personal or familial material foundation—the basis for a new home—as well as the individual desire for offspring. Looking back at European history, the formation of a marriage required a basic subsistence level, encompassing both income and secure housing. This was typically drawn from mandatory dowries and personal savings. It was also significant ...
