New Ways of Parenting: Fatherhood and Parenthood in Lesbian Families
Alenka Švab
Sažetak
The article offers sociological analysis of some aspects of fatherhood and parenthood in the case of lesbian families with the starting idea that essential innovations in the parental identities, roles and practices are going on outside the “classical” (heterosexual and binary) parental roles known in modernity. Lesbian families (together with gay families) count for the most radical challenge to heterosexual norms regarding parental roles and identities as they challenge traditional notions of family and heterosexual monopoly over reproduction. The analysis includes the following aspects: process and reasons for decision-making about un/known father (biological, social and cultural premises of decisions), parenting in everyday life and the role of father, questions regarding upbringing and socialization of children in gay and lesbian families and current discussion on perspectives in researching gay and lesbian parenthood.
