Abstract

The moral imperatives of kinship in Italy today articulate state law and market in measurements of closeness for access to resources and care. The negotiations of insurance payouts for road crash victims offer a privileged vantage point to study this articulation and, specifically, how laws and welfare policies are reproduced through financial products. In these negotiations, insurance companies, state agencies, lawyers, and families employ different measurements of kinship as closeness. The notion of ‘kin enough’ indicates thresholds of belonging reached when degrees of closeness measured through different indicators add up. Two case studies show how concrete negotiations of measurement reinforce inequalities of gender, class, and age, and help to moralize kinship according to ideals of middle-class propriety.

亲属足够

在今天的意大利，亲属关系的道德责任明确了国家法律和市场对获得资源和照顾的亲密程度的衡量。道路交通事故受害者保险赔付的谈判为研究这种联系，特别是法律和福利政策如何通过金融产品再现提供了有利条件。在这些谈判中，保险公司、国家机构、律师和家庭采用不同的亲属关系来衡量亲密程度。“足够亲密”的概念表明，当通过不同指标衡量的亲密程度加起来时，归属感达到了阈值。两个案例研究表明，具体的衡量谈判如何强化性别、阶级和年龄的不平等，并有助于根据中产阶级得体的理想来道德化亲属关系。

期刊介绍： Social Analysis is an international peer-reviewed journal devoted to exploring the analytical potentials of anthropological research. It encourages contributions grounded in original empirical research that critically probe established paradigms of social and cultural analysis. The journal expresses the best that anthropology has to offer by exploring in original ways the relationship between ethnographic materials and theoretical insight. By forging creative and critical engagements with cultural, political, and social processes, it also opens new avenues of communication between anthropology and the humanities as well as other social sciences. The journal publishes four issues per year, including regular Special Issues on particular themes. The Editors welcome individual articles that focus on diverse topics and regions, reflect varied theoretical approaches and methods, and aim to appeal widely within anthropology and beyond. Proposals for Special Issues are selected by the Editorial Board through an annual competitive call.
