在一系列关于改变家庭形式、养育子女和社会的对话中，关于父亲身份未来的争论一直是核心。法律在这些讨论中发挥了重要作用，但往往被忽视，它是更广泛的政治挫折的重要焦点，在调解纠纷中发挥核心作用，并作为父亲权利和责任范围的重要、象征性、国家认可的说明。《支离破碎的父权》提供了第一次与父权在英国法律中被理解、构建和规范的方式持续接触。它借鉴了一系列不同的法律条款和不同学科的材料，勾勒出法律和社会政策中父亲形象的主要轮廓，追溯了法律和更广泛地理解“父亲”的含义的变化，以及这一地位应赋予哪些权利和义务。在贯穿法律实质性领域的主题链接章节中，本书将父亲定位为有关家庭和性别平等的更广泛政治辩论中的一个关键地点。随着时间的推移，在不同的法律领域中，父亲的多重愿景不均匀地演变，从这种分析中浮现出来。父权本质上是一种支离破碎的状态，它以复杂的方式与法律、文化和政治背景交织在一起，在这些背景下，亲子关系的话语产生了。《支离破碎的父亲》提供了一个重要而独特的资源，涉及法律和法律理论、社会学、性别研究、社会政策、婚姻和家庭、妇女研究和性别研究等一系列领域关于父亲的辩论。
Debates about the future of fatherhood have been central to a range of conversations about changing family forms, parenting and society. Law has served an important, yet often neglected, role in these discussions, serving as an important focal point for broader political frustrations, playing a central role in mediating disputes, and operating as a significant, symbolic, state-sanctioned account of the scope of paternal rights and responsibilities. Fragmenting Fatherhood provides the first sustained engagement with the way that fatherhood has been understood, constructed and regulated within English law. Drawing on a range of disparate legal provisions and material from diverse disciplines, it sketches the major contours of the figure of the father as drawn in law and social policy, tracing shifts in legal and broader understandings of what it means to be a 'father'and what rights and obligations should accrue to that status. In thematically linked chapters cutting across substantive areas of law, the book locates fatherhood as a key site of contestation within broader political debates regarding the family and gender equality. Multiple visions of fatherhood, evolving unevenly over time across diverse areas of law, emerge from this analysis. Fatherhood is revealed as an essentially fragmented status and one which is intertwined in complex ways with the legal, cultural and political contexts in which discourses of parenthood are produced. Fragmenting Fatherhood provides an important and unique resource, speaking to debates about fatherhood across a range of fields including law and legal theory, sociology, gender studies, social policy, marriage and the family, women's studies and gender studies.
