This is due to the contradiction that kinship only be defined relatively, subjectively, and individually, although it should be a universal analytical concept. In this paper, I will introduce the theoretical history of the last stage of kinship studies, relating to the paradigm shift that many social sciences follow. Until the 1950s, kinship studies were the "natural science of society. After the "nature of kinship" debate in the 1960s, kinship studies incorporated folk reproduction theory and changed into a phenomenological "understanding science of society". However, this made it very difficult to formulate a universal argument in kinship studies. The kinship studies went astray. I will also introduce some studies conducted after the collapse of the concept of kinship and point out some commonalities in them.}, pages = {187--201}, title = {親族研究のパラドクス -文化人類学における親族概念の崩壊過程とその後の展開-}, year = {2022} }
