家族と親族組織

抄録

　This paper examines changes in kinship organization, where dozoku and shinrui (kindred) relate symbolically, in relation to changes in ie.
　In Shiratsuchi kinship relation are more important than those between honke (main family) and bunke (blanch family). A honke and its bunke do not form a corporate group, and the honke-bunke relationship does not function economically and politically. Rat her it performs partially religious and mutual help functions even when the family genealogical relationship is acknowledged. The honke-bunke relationship is contained in the kindred and is local in character.
　Kindred is divided into murauchiwa (local kindred) and non-murauchiwa. The former is strongly characterized by prescriptive kindred, and the latter by personal kindred in which optional and emotional norms ara raflected. The murauchiwa kindred partially retains functions on ceremonial occasions only, but the non-murauchiwa kindred provides for more critical day to day economic and social functions.
