Resumo: | Inspired in the work of Kath Weston and other anthropologists working principally in the United States and England, in this article I examine different elements of the notion: “Families we choose”. In the first part, the examples are designed to demonstrate how certain lesbian couples, using new legislative and technological possibilities, recreate ideologies of kinship. If, in these first examples, “choice” appears as something positive – a reproductive right to be guaranteed by public authorities –, in the second part of this discussion, in which I consider the example of international adoption, I bring to the fore certain criticisms of “individual choice”. Here, homosexual parenthood, just as other contemporary forms of family, are seen as “co-productions” that involve – aside from cultural values – law, technology, and money. |

Homosexualparenthood: New Lights on KinshipHomoparentalidade: novas luzes sobre o parentescoInspired in the work of Kath Weston and other anthropologists working principally in the United States and England, in this article I examine different elements of the notion: “Families we choose”. In the first part, the examples are designed to demonstrate how certain lesbian couples, using new legislative and technological possibilities, recreate ideologies of kinship. If, in these first examples, “choice” appears as something positive – a reproductive right to be guaranteed by public authorities –, in the second part of this discussion, in which I consider the example of international adoption, I bring to the fore certain criticisms of “individual choice”. Here, homosexual parenthood, just as other contemporary forms of family, are seen as “co-productions” that involve – aside from cultural values – law, technology, and money.Tendo como inspiração o trabalho de Kath Weston e outras antropólogas que pesquisam principalmente nos Estados Unidos e na Inglaterra, revisito neste artigo diferentes elementos da noção de “Família que Escolhemos”. Na primeira parte, os exemplos que trago ressaltam o quanto certos casais lésbicos, recorrendo às novas possibilidades legislativas e tecnológicas, recriam as ideologias de parentesco. Se, nesses primeiros exemplos, a escolha aparece como algo positivo – um direito reprodutivo, a ser reivindicado junto às instâncias políticas –, na segunda parte dessa discussão, em que considero o exemplo da adoção internacional, passo a questionar a idéia de escolha individual. Aqui, a homoparentalidade, assim como outras formas familiares contemporâneas, são vistas como “co-produções” que envolvem – além de valores culturais – lei, tecnologia e dinheiro.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2008-09-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X200800030000310.1590/S0104-026X2008000300003Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 16 No. 3 (2008); 769Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 16 Núm. 3 (2008); 769Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 16 n. 3 (2008); 7691806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X2008000300003/9127Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Estudos Feministasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFonseca, Claudia2020-01-30T09:46:24Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/9916Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:37:39.846857Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true |
