The case studies in this special issue focus on the ways in which social actors seek to concretize as well as control what family could or should be. While (bio-)technological innovation proves vital to fulfill traditional imaginaries of a nuclear family, communication technology is a key to keep transnationally situated families in contact. Still, transnational work opportunities conflict with traditional imaginaries of the wholesome families and impact particularly women seeking to cross both borders and established family norms. Popular genealogy as a hobby and passion uncovers evidence that counters established narratives: instead of long-term sedentary family lineages, evidence of migration muddies the waters. Family metaphor, finally, serves, in one of the case studies, as vocabulary to materialize imaginary kinship ties among nuns. The five case studies are complemented by four commentaries, exploring paths along which these themes can be developed further. 410 0$aEthnologia Europaea ;$vvolume 42:2 (2012) 606 $aEthnology$zEurope 606 $aFamilies$zEurope 606 $aCultural anthropology$zEurope 608 $aElectronic Books. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aFamilies 615 0$aCultural anthropology 676 $a305.8 702 $aKo?rber$b Karen 702 $aMerkel$b Ina$f1957-, 801 0$bAuAdUSA 801 1$bAuAdUSA 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136885303321 996 $aImagined families in mobile worlds$92186392 997 $aUNINA
