How would you define a "culture of Familialism"? Is this a centrist view?

Answer 1

Yes, Familialism is a centrist view....


Familial meanings are used to condemn defective families and the perverse activities of its individual members. Yet they are also drawn on to describe alternative, trans-nuclear, transformative relationships. Despite tensions between individualism and familialism and important attempts to re-invent the family along democratic lines, the white nuclear family remains a powerful ideological device for naturalizing hierarchies of race, class, gender and sexuality and therefore has implications for ongoing debates about identity politics.
