The idea of an impending collision may overstate the intensity of impending legal conflicts. Still, the current portrayal of this conflict does foreground the complex relationship of marriage, religion, and the state to promote one form of marriage (white, heterosexual, monogamous).]]> http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/immanent_frame/2008/07/02/promoting-marriage-and-christianity-in-america/feed/ http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/immanent_frame/2008/06/26/reforming-culture/ http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/immanent_frame/2008/06/26/reforming-culture/#comments Thu, 26 Jun 2008 10:52:48 +0000 Winnifred Fallers Sullivan http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/immanent_frame/?p=275 exactly was wrong with the Yearning for Zion ranch---home to a group identified with the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints---as a place to raise children? It is plain that with respect to any child for whom there is reason to believe that there is ongoing sex abuse---and the state did receive a phone complaint from a girl complaining of abuse---the state of Texas has a pretext---even a duty---to intervene. Texas authorities say they were worried about the “culture” at the ranch. The Supreme Court of Texas, in its May 29 decision ordering the return of the children, said that the state was concerned that the ranch had “a culture of polygamy and of directing girls younger than eighteen to enter spiritual unions with older men and have children.” What is a “culture of polygamy”? Is it separate from or the same as the rest of the culture of the Yearning for Zion ranch? How are they related to what Texas authorities called “mainstream culture”?]]> http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/immanent_frame/2008/06/26/reforming-culture/feed/ http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/immanent_frame/2008/06/18/the-race-to-marriage/ http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/immanent_frame/2008/06/18/the-race-to-marriage/#comments Wed, 18 Jun 2008 10:36:27 +0000 Tey Meadow and Judith Stacey http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/immanent_frame/?p=264 http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/immanent_frame/2008/06/18/the-race-to-marriage/feed/ http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/immanent_frame/2008/06/09/marriage-as-a-neo-liberal-wolf/ http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/immanent_frame/2008/06/09/marriage-as-a-neo-liberal-wolf/#comments Mon, 09 Jun 2008 16:55:54 +0000 Jaye Cee Whitehead http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/immanent_frame/?p=254 http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/immanent_frame/2008/06/09/marriage-as-a-neo-liberal-wolf/feed/ http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/immanent_frame/2008/06/02/traditional-marriage-or-a-break-with-tradition/ http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/immanent_frame/2008/06/02/traditional-marriage-or-a-break-with-tradition/#comments Mon, 02 Jun 2008 17:05:05 +0000 Stephanie Coontz http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/immanent_frame/?p=251 http://www.ssrc.org/blogs/immanent_frame/2008/06/02/traditional-marriage-or-a-break-with-tradition/feed/
