Abstract

This article considers qualitative data collected from 78 parents in an Irish study on the commercialisation and sexualisation of children. It makes a distinctive contribution in showing that the framework of family display (Finch, 2007) can be productively applied to the entire field of family consumption. It shows that consumption narratives can be viewed as a tool that is used to display family ‐ in other words, showing how family is done ‐ to internal family members and to outsiders. While family display has been more often applied empirically with non-conventional families, its relevance for all families is reasserted by our data. Our application of the family display framework shows that middle-class parenting ideals are stretched and can become unstuck when displayed by middle-class parents, the constituency most associated with their production and propagation.

爱尔兰父母展示家庭消费

这篇文章考虑定性数据收集从78名父母在爱尔兰研究儿童的商业化和性化。它在显示家庭展示框架(Finch, 2007)可以有效地应用于整个家庭消费领域方面做出了独特的贡献。它表明，消费叙事可以被视为一种工具，用于向内部家庭成员和外部家庭成员展示家庭——换句话说，展示家庭是如何完成的。虽然家庭展示更经常应用于非传统家庭，但我们的数据重申了它与所有家庭的相关性。我们对家庭展示框架的应用表明，中产阶级的育儿理想在中产阶级父母(与他们的生产和传播最相关的选民)的展示下是拉伸的，可能会变得不牢靠。

期刊介绍： Families, Relationships and Societies (FRS) is a vibrant social science journal advancing scholarship and debates in the field of families and relationships. It explores family life, relationships and generational issues across the life course. Bringing together a range of social science perspectives, with a strong policy and practice focus, it is also strongly informed by sociological theory and the latest methodological approaches. The title ''Families, Relationships and Societies'' encompasses the fluidity, complexity and diversity of contemporary social and personal relationships and their need to be understood in the context of different societies and cultures. International and comprehensive in scope, FRS covers a range of theoretical, methodological and substantive issues, from large scale trends, processes of social change and social inequality to the intricacies of family practices. It welcomes scholarship based on theoretical, qualitative or quantitative analysis. High quality research and scholarship is accepted across a wide range of issues. Examples include family policy, changing relationships between personal life, work and employment, shifting meanings of parenting, issues of care and intimacy, the emergence of digital friendship, shifts in transnational sexual relationships, effects of globalising and individualising forces and the expansion of alternative ways of doing family. Encouraging methodological innovation, and seeking to present work on all stages of the life course, the journal welcomes explorations of relationships and families in all their different guises and across different societies.
