This captivating book delves into the profound significance of siblings throughout the entirety of one's life journey, compelling sociologists to prioritize their study of sibling relationships. By focusing on four central themes that are fundamental to the discipline of sociology – namely, self, relationality, imagination, and time – the book elucidates why siblings truly matter. Rooted in theories of relatedness, this comprehensive work spans various theoretical frameworks, encompassing generation, life course, emotion, sensory worlds, normativity, and identity. Through its exploration, Siblings and Sociology sheds light on the importance of siblings in our daily lives and how they shape broader social dynamics. It delves into the intricate process of constructing identity, the transmission of capital, the experiences within institutions such as schools, and the meanings associated with relatedness. Siblings, with their inherent intrigue, offer a unique lens through which to reexamine and rethink familiar sociological concepts, fostering innovative thinking and fresh perspectives.
