  Adoption is currently subject to a great deal of media scrutiny. High-profile cases of international adoption via the internet and other unofficial routes, have drawn attention to the relative ease with which children can be obtained on the global circuit, and have brought about legislation which regulates the exchange of children within and between countries. However a scarcity of research into cross-cultural attitudes to child-rearing, and a wider lack of awareness of cultural difference in adoptive contexts, has meant that the assumptions underlying Western childcare policy are seldom examined or made explicit. The articles in Cross-Cultural Approaches to Adoption look at adoption practices from Africa, Oceania, Asia and Central America, including examples of societies in which children are routinely separated from their biological parents or passed through several foster families. Showing the range and flexibility of the child-rearing practices that approximate to the Western term 'adoption', they demonstrate the benefits of a cross-cultural appreciation of family life, and allow a broader understanding of the varied relationships that exist between children and adoptive parents.

  Androgynous persons and objects are `hierarchising' (i.e. they order relations asymmetrically). Non-androgynous persons and objects are not. According to my argument, androgyny itself imparts value because of the inherent ability to eclipse nested terms. This makes possible a movement between modes of sociality. Constituting a social context in a male or female mode of sociality is a hierarchical process by which one or the other gender eclipses its opposite and stands forth as superior. However, the superiority lasts only as long as is pertinent, and the mode reverts to a different one once new situations arise. The demands of the context determine the relevant constitution of relatedness between participants. I am suggesting, therefore, that the semantics of a context activates the appropriate gendered mode for relating. This does not occur by separating male and female aspects of the androgynous unit. Rather, relevant activities and actions of participants, and the appropriate employment of significant androgynous items, result in the male or female quality eclipsing its opposite and constituting the mode. Certain objects, certain activities, certain ways of being and acting have strong gendered connotations which are released in certain contexts. I have detected a pattern that indicates that female sociality is constitutive on occasions of fertility - human, agricultural, ancestral - while male sociality is constitutive on occasions of expressive communication, between humans, between humans and ancestors or spirits (Howell 1995a; 1996a). But because of the androgynous nature of priest-leaders, the orchestrators of public and collective events, it is less important what biological sex the main officiates have than that they can constitute the appropriately gendered mode. Hence it is not possible to make a general gendered opposition between maleness and femaleness, each associated with its own activities and sociocultural domain because, not only do these overlap, but their relative value is not constant. Maleness is not, for example, the ultimate superior value standing for the whole which encloses its opposite at all times - except when, on an inferior level, femaleness may be seen to enclose maleness (cf. Dumont). Rather, maleness and femaleness represent separate qualities, but either may stand forth as superior without a corresponding shift in levels. The hierarchical nature of such occasions can usefully be thought of in terms of nested terms, of process of eclipsing, and of relations between relations.
