在"英语"词典里kinswoman}的意思

这篇文章反映了长期以来在人类学中使用亲属关系的术语，它指的是大多数社会中大多数人类生活中重要组成部分的社会关系网络，尽管这个社会关系甚至在这个学科内部的确切含义经常被辩论。 人类学家罗宾·福克斯（Robin Fox）指出：“亲属关系的研究是研究人类与生活中的基本事实 - 交配，妊娠，生育，社会化，兄弟情谊等等。 他认为，人类社会是独一无二的，因为我们“正在使用与动物世界相同的原料，但可以概念化和分类，为社会目的服务”。 这些社会目的包括儿童的社会化，基本的经济，政治和宗教团体的组建。 在人类学中，亲属关系既可以指自己的社会关系模式，也可以参考对一个或多个人类文化中社会关系模式的研究。 This article reflects the long-standing use of the term kinship in anthropology, which refers to the web of social relationships that form an important part of the lives of most humans in most societies, although its exact meanings even within this discipline are often debated. Anthropologist Robin Fox states that "the study of kinship is the study of what man does with these basic facts of life - mating, gestation, parenthood, socialization, siblingship etc." Human society is unique, he argues, in that we "are working with the same raw material as exists in the animal world, but can conceptualize and categorize it to serve social ends." These social ends include the socialization of children, and the formation of basic economic, political, and religious groups. Within anthropology, kinship can refer both to the patterns of social relationships themselves, or it can refer to the study of the patterns of social relationships in one or more human cultures.
