Did you know?
TRIVIA
In Nepali culture, if your mother has a sister, she is NOT
called your aunt. The word for your mother’s older sister is
literally translated “Big Mother.” And your mother’s younger
sister? You guessed it: “Small Mother.”
WHAT IS KINSHIP?
Kinship is the "web of social
connections" that humans
develop as members of a family,
which is society's smallest unit.
The family is the primary
socioeconomic unit wherein an
individual learns his or her social
roles.
TYPES OF KINSHIP
- A family is a socioeconomic unit
- A family can have one or more parents
- A family can have parents who are not married
- A family can have parents with same gender
- A family should have one child
 TWO PRIMARY PURPOSE OF
• to orient the individualFAMILY
of the norms of the society
• to provide physical support as the individual matures
FAMILY OF
ORIENTATION
o Consists of our mother, father and siblings
o Where we first learned society's norms and our roles in it
o Our primary support group while growing up.
o The nurturing process
FAMILY OF
PROCREATION
o consists of spouse, son, and daughter
o creates our own concept of a family upon negotiation with
our spouse.
o Where we perpetuates the values and beliefs that we
 KINSHIP BY
BLOOD
One factor that allows an individual to identify another
individual as a family member is through consanguinity, popularly
called as blood relatives. This type of kinship links individuals based
on their genetic relations (i.e., their bloodline). This is referred to as
descent or the socially accepted connection between an ancestor
and its succeeding generation.
Kinship connections are perceived to be of great importance in
some societies. Due to this, descent rules are created and followed.
In anthropology, there are four main descent rules that are
recognized.
 KINSHIP
DIAGRAM
SYMBOLS
 UNILINEAL
DESCENT
This allows an individual to be affiliated to the descent of one
sex group only—either the male or the female.
 TYPES OF UNILINEAL
MATRILINEALDESCENT
DESCENT
Matrilineal descent leads
an individual to trace kinship
relations through the
female's line. This implies
that the surname and
inheritances of a family are
passed on from one female
to the other.
 TYPES OF UNILINEAL
DESCENT
PATRILINEAL DESCENT
In patrilineal descent, an individual
traces his or her kinship through the
male's line only. This promotes a passing
down of name and inheritance to the
male offspring only, while allowing the
female offspring to be part of another
family through marriage. This is also
referred to as agnatic descent. A lot of
societies in Asia are patrilineal. The most
popular are the Chinese who are highly
patrilineal, enforcing a strict kinship
relations traced through the male's line.
 BILATERAL
DESCENT
Bilateral descent allows an individual to trace kinship ties on both sides of
the family. This means that an individual can recognize both his or her parents'
relatives as his or her own relatives. In this type of kinship, everyone knows how
he or she is connected to everyone.
KINSHIP BY
MARRIAGE
Marriage is defined as the "socially or
ritually recognized union or legal
contract between spouses that
establishes rights and obligations
between them"
 
Cultural variation produces differing
perspectives and practices relating to
marriage.
 FOUR (4)
TYPES OF
FAMILIES
BASED ON
MARRIAGE
SYSTEMS
PATRIFOCAL AND
MATRIFOCAL
o This type of family is focused on one
parent: a father (patrifocal) or a
mother (matrifocal).
o Associated with the terms patriarchal,
the rule of the father and matriarchal,
the rule of the mother.

MONOGAMOUS
o This type of family consists of a
single couple and their child or
children.
o Referred to as the nuclear family
 POLYGAMOUS
o Consists of several parents and their children.
o There are two types of polygamy: polyandry and polygyny.

o Polyandry is a marriage o Polygyny is a marriage practice

RECONSTITUTED FAMILY
o In this type of family, the current spouses were previously
married and had children.
o Concepts such as stepmothers, half brothers and stepsisters are
all part of the existence of a reconstituted family.
POSTMARITAL
RESIDENCY
RULES
o Anthropology has identified seven major
residency patterns: patrilocal, matrilocal,
avunculocal, neolocal, natalocal, matrifocal
and andambilocal.
 
PATRILOCAL RESIDENCE
o Upon marriage, the woman is expected to transfer to the residence of
her husband's father.  

MATRILOCAL RESIDENCE
o Upon marriage, the man is expected to take residence with wife's
mother's area, where they are expected to raise their children.

NEOLOCAL RESIDENCE
o An arrangement that requires both spouses to leave their
households and create their own times.

AVUNCULOCAL RESIDENCE
o A complex residency pattern as it requires two residence
transfers.
NATALOCAL RESIDENCE
o Allows both spouses to remain with their own households after
marriage.

MATRIFOCAL RESIDENCE
o This type of residency rule arises when the father is economically and
physically unable to provide support for the family.

AMBILOCAL RESIDENCE
o Allows the couple to choose to live either with the wife's
mother's area or the husband's father's area.
 TRANSNATIONAL
FAMILIES
o Families whose members reside separately across
territories. According to Bryceson and Vuorela (2002)
Families that live apart yet build and maintain a "feeling
of collective wellbeing and oneness, in short
"familyhood," even across national lines are known as
transnational families. 
POLITICS OF
KINSHIP
o Politics and kinship can be
related in some situations,
allowing for the formation
of political alliances and
dynasties. A political
dynasty is a family that has
been in power for a long
time. This can take the
shape of a family occupying
many political offices or a
succession of rulers.
