Home movies, like family photographs, are important parts of family life, acting as ways to frame the idea of the family and connect different, inter-generational memories together. Footage of key moments helps develop a family identity, as well as locate it within broader historical contexts. As a result, home movies provide an incredibly useful source with which to examine the intersections between narratives of the family, nation and belonging. Utilising a collection of personal home movies, this paper will explore how these themes are touched on within the context of British Colonial Southern Africa. These films explore how ideas of family identity are rooted within ideas of home and belonging, articulating a conceptualisation of colonial Southern Africa as a ‘home-scape’ for descendant of British settlers living there during the 1950s and 1960s. These home movies draw attention to the creation of the idea of home and family, while also producing disruptive elements to those narratives.

Résumé This article explores how space gets mobilised in the performance of “family business”. The very concept of the “family business” collapses some deeply entrenched distinctions in Western modern societies, those between home and work, private and public, family life and business rationality, distinctions that are mapped over space through the creation of boundaries between work space and family space, home and office. The “family business”, especially when run from home, unsticks this ordered sense of space as familial images and business stages are collapsed. Our analysis of small family run boarding kennels focuses on the way space is used to frame different stages of action. In particular, we draw upon theatrical metaphors to explore the work that goes into the staging of identities and social relations. We first discuss the relationships between space, stages, performance and identity through a theatrical lens; we then draw upon material from our study of family run boarding kennels to explore how owner-managers use space as a malleable resource from which they carve out and assemble different stages to perform their business and themselves to different audiences. After going back into the theatre to discuss the role of stages in weaving together coherent stories in the family business or in drama, we close by exploring the limitations of the theatrical metaphor for the analysis of social life.

There is a duality, an apparent contradiction, in Jesus' words about the family which is rooted in the rejection of legality as a sphere for family life and in the creation of a community whose claims transcend those of the family.

The research offers a plot analysis in Synge’s play “Rider to the Sea”. This play is written in 1902 describing a complex family life story. This play will be analyzed by using the structure method focusing on the plot development of the play. The story of the play "Rider to the Sea" is interesting since it portrays the different side of family where the family life is still dependent on the men’s efforts in their family. Roles of the men in the story are very important because the family life cannot run well without men’s contribution. The Riders to the Sea has a unique place in dramatic history. The essence of its uniqueness lies in the creation of a true tragedy within its boundaries of a one act play. At first sight, the plot would seem too trivial and the characterization too faintly sketched to enable the playwright to build up and communicate the typical momentum of a high tragedy. To reach the aim of the analysis, the writer uses the qualitative research. The result is expected to give the reader a better understanding of the description of the plot of the play “Rider to the Sea.” Keywords : plot, simple plot, complex plot

Panca Wasta is a teaching at the level of family life  which contains advice on values that elevate human position in personality, nobility, welfare and knowledge that must be possessed by a man (Javanese) in particular. The focus of the creation of the work is in the form of a kris blade which is inspired by the five elements of the Panca Wasta teachings which contain; wisma, turangga, kukila, curiga and wanita, using recycled metal. The purpose of the creation of this work is to create a dhapur kris blade using recycled metal with a metaphorical tinatah motif from the five elements of the panca wasta teachings. The creation of works uses an artistic creation approach, namely; experiment, contemplation and embodiment of works. The resulting work is a kris blade complete with warangka, hulu/jejeran/ukiran, mendhak, and pendok of Surakarta style. When the teachings of Panca Wasta are used as the concept of creating a kris, it shows that the work of a kris is quite interesting, has aesthetic beauty and full of philosophical values and meanings.

This chapter assesses Fawwaz’s writings on marriage, divorce, and family life, 1892‒1900. In stand-alone essays and a long-running debate with a customs official, published in the journal Fursat al-awqat, Fawwaz addressed the exploitation of late versions of Islamic fiqh (jurisprudence) and its hadith sources, and the fiction of the Islamic basis of extreme seclusion, as patriarchal mechanisms to keep women subordinate and unhappy in marriage. It assesses the reformist views of Muhammad ‘Abduh while arguing that Fawwaz focused less on legal change and more on the prevalence of misogynistic views in the marital relationship that maintained the hegemony of patriarchal social organization. In her debate with Husayn Fawzi, Fawwaz used logic, arguments from history, and knowledge of Islamic sources to reject his understanding of gender, based on his reading of the creation story, Qur’an, and hadith, and medieval marriage manuals. This debate centred on marriage but went beyond it to explore Islamic understandings of gender difference.

Em perspectiva latino-americana, o autor aborda o tema das relações entre matrimônio e gênero. A partir do axioma: lex orandi – lex credendi, descreve o matrimônio na prática habitual latino-americana, com destaque para dois aspectos: o rito do enlace matrimonial e a vida matrimonial. Pergunta, como, neles, se espelha a relação de gênero, e observa uma contradição entre o modo de praticar o rito e a experiência da vida conjugal e familiar de todo dia. Constata a presença de duas concepções que geram uma tensão entre a praxe cultural e as propostas do Evangelho, o que é normal, visto ser o matrimônio um dado da criação, antes de ser instituído um sacramento. O autor analisa também a liturgia do casamento aprovada pela CNBB e pergunta, se ela resolve ou não a tensão cultura X Evangelho. Sublinha, enfim, o desafio que essa tensão significa para o matrimônio cristão.Abstract: The author deals with the relationship between marriage and gender from a Latin-American perspective. Starting from the axiom: lex orandi-lex credendi, he describes marriage as it is usually practiced in LatinAmerica, emphasizing two of its major aspects: the matrimonial rite and married life. Asking how gender relations influence these two aspects of marriage, he notices a contradiction between the way the rite is practiced and the every day experience of married and family life. He also notices the presence of two concepts that produce some tension between the cultural praxis and the Gospel’s proposals and sees this as a normal occurrence since, before being instituted as a sacrament, marriage was already a datum of the Creation. The author analyses the matrimonial liturgy sanctioned by the National Conference of Brazilian Bishops and wonders whether or not it solves the tension “culture versus Gospel”. Finally he stresses how this tension has become a challenge for the Christian marriage.
