Deprivatization and the Construction of Domestic Life.

Holstein, James A.; Gubrium, Jaber F.

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v57 n4 p894-908 Nov 1995

Addresses the increasing deprivatization of family life by presenting a constructivist approach to family studies that views the family as a social object constituted through interpretive practice. Documents how family images and meanings are rationalized, public accomplishments, and views the family as part of local culture and the result of organizational embeddedness. (JPS)
