Junctions: ‘Transformative Kinships’
Graduate Journal of the Humanities
Junctions: Graduate Journal of the Humanities presents volume 8, issue 2 (2024): ‘Transformative Kinships’. This issue invites readers to think critically about relationships, resistance, and solidarity in ways that challenge and inspire.
The concept of kinship
This Junctions issue discusses the divisive and hierarchical relationships prevalent in Western-dominated culture and the ambivalently emancipatory potential of alternative relationships. Additionally, it delves into the links between kinship and solidarity in political resistance. All these issues are considered from varying angles and in different contexts.
Through these diverse perspectives and contexts, the authors explore how the sometimes abstract concept of kinship becomes tangible and transformative. This urges us to reflect on how, when, and why new forms of kinship can lead to meaningful change.
As always, we are deeply grateful to our contributors, reviewers, and editors for their invaluable work in bringing this issue to life.
