Marilyn Strathern's work on kinship
 

After Nature: English Kinship in the Late Twentieth Century
 
Anthropology studies kinship systems "as if kinship systems were social constructions building on natural facts" (Mol's summation, 18)
 
but "Strathern [...] makes it plain that these 'facts of life' were cultural all along [...] the so-called natural facts of procreation [...] already incorporated images of social relations"
