| Adoptive relations = ... | - Fictive relations which are created/made/crafted - chosen/optative |
| What are Howell's (2003) key points? | - Biogenetic vs. social relatedness (biology very important in Norway) - 'Kinning' - significant and permanent relationships through idioms of kinship - ‘transubstantiation’ - changing essence without exterior (feel and act Norwegian) - Temporal practices of kinning give adoptive child a sense of belonging - Tourism confirms Norwegian identity - taken back to place of birth yet have no connection therefore feel more Norwegian |

| How does Weston (1991) describe gay and lesbian communities through the years? | 1960s: knowledge that lesbians and gay men joining together on the basis of a sexual identity, could create enduring social ties 1970s: alternative, egalitarian and non-erotic (like friendship). Gays and lesbians were family. Community like ‘home’ coming-out = coming home. Post 1970s: politics of difference–racism/ sexism/ individualism ‘I was just me in a gay world’. |
