Relatedness | kinship, marriage, descent, residence, and commensality (but first: foreign accents) Three points to stress: the biological and social overlap the (cid:862)i(cid:373)agi(cid:374)ed(cid:863) is (cid:374)ot (cid:862)i(cid:373)agi(cid:374)ar(cid:455)(cid:863) the constructed is genuine.

A relationship imagined to be by blood (i. e. biological relationship; consanguineal) Contrasted with affinal relationships (i. e. through marriage) Ascribed category when imagined e. g. adoption, fostering. Patrilineage: everyone descended from the same male line you reckon your descent as being on your father"s side: your mother is not a part of this li(cid:374)eage; her (cid:272)hildre(cid:374) (cid:271)elo(cid:374)g to her hus(cid:271)a(cid:374)d"s li(cid:374)eage.
