Remaking 'Family' Communicatively
(Lifespan Communication)
Sinopsis
Demographers have repeatedly confirmed that the
nuclear family is on the decline. Yet when
Americans are asked about their ideal family,
the nuclear family emerges as the most valued
kind of family. Members of families that do not
match this cultural ideal face a discursive
burden to legitimate their identity as a
171famly.187This volume gathers together
communication scholars who are working on the
many kinds of alternative family forms, from,
among others, grandfamilies, diasporic immigrant
families, and military families to in
(voluntarily) childless families and
stepfamilies. The organizing question for the
volume focuses on resistance, reconstruction,
and resilience how is it that alternatives to
the traditional family are constructed and
sustained through communicative practices?
Several chapters adopt a global perspective,
thereby framing the issue of legitimation
of 171famly187in a broader cultural context.
None of the family forms described in this
volume meets the ideological 171golstandard82
21of the nuclear family, and in this sense they
all represent a remaking of the family in
profound ways.
