    Pētījumi par radniecību Latvijā 20. gadsimtā
    (Rīgas Stradiņa universitāte, 2024) Lūse, Agita; Sedlenieks, Klāvs; Rīgas Stradiņa universitāte
    Chapter 2 (authors Klāvs Sedlenieks and Agita Lūse) of the book "Kinship and State Performance in Contemporary Latvia" reviews prior studies of kinship in Latvia. It summarises and criticises the works which use mainly the historical comparative method characteristic to the 19th century evolutionists. The authors describe these studies as intellectually fascinating but generally uncritical speculations. The application of this method and the uncritical adoption of the ideas of earlier authors continue to this day in various fields, starting with folklore studies and ending with jurisprudence. This tradition is represented by such authors as Arveds Schwabe and Kārlis Straubergs, as well as, at least partially, Soviet-era researchers who were based on the Marxist theoretical point of view. Alternatively there are also studies closer to international anthropological practice, e.g., the ethnographic studies of Stefania Ulyanovska conducted at the beginning of the 20th century observations or the mid-20th century works of Lidija Yefremova. American researchers Andrejs Plakans and Charles Wezerel provide a significant insight into kin relations, the process of their formation, and especially the role of political and economic processes in kin formation. Generally, Sedlenieks and Lūse conclude that until now kinship has received undeservedly little attention among researchers.
