Comical moments and comical characterisations in Tobit: the undermining of self-righteous piety, simplistic retribution, and limited Yahwism by Southwood, K

“…This article argues that comic moments and comic characterisation are used in Tobit as a means of satirically exposing a type of Yahwism characterised by inward-looking piety, religious and ethnic endogamy, and simplistic notions of retribution. Comic moments and comic characterisation, therefore, in Tobit is an important ethical device used to expose the problematic nature of an obsessive emphasis on religious boundary maintenance as demonstrated by the extreme version of endogamy that Tobit endorses. …”

Mobility and kinship in the world's first village societies by Pearson, J, Evans, J, Lamb, A, Baird, D, Hodder, I, Marciniak, A, Larsen, CS, Knüsel, CJ, Haddow, SD, Pilloud, MA, Bogaard, A, Fairbairn, A, Plug, J-H, Mazzucato, C, Mustafaoğlu, G, Feldman, M, Somel, M, Fernández-Domínguez, E

“…Megasites, where large populations would have made endogamy sustainable, could have avoided this risk. …”

Love riddles, couple formation, and local identity in eastern France by Hopkin, D

“…Both will be shown to have encouraged particularly high levels of geographical endogamy and premarital fertility, while the metaphors of monetary exchange that ran through both the dâyage and the dônage into the marriage service itself encouraged social homogamy. …”

Love riddles, couple formation, and local identity in Eastern France by Hopkin, D

Transnational mobility and cross-border family life cycles: a century of Welsh-Italian migration by Bianchera, E, Mann, R, Harper, S

“…Migrants’ heritage and affective anchorage to Italy were maintained through ‘circular’ mobility premised on endogamy and shared language. In recent decades, despite a decline in endogamous marriage, transnational family interaction has continued on the basis of the ease of European Union cross-border mobility. …”

The genetic legacy of Zoroastrianism in Iran and India: insights into population structure, gene flow, and selection by López, S, Thomas, MG, van Dorp, L, Ansari-Pour, N, Stewart, S, Jones, AL, Jelinek, E, Chikhi, L, Parfitt, T, Bradman, N, Weale, ME, Hellenthal, G

“…Using powerful haplotype-based techniques, we find that Zoroastrians in Iran and India have increased genetic homogeneity relative to other sampled groups in their respective countries, consistent with their current practices of endogamy. Despite this, we infer that Indian Zoroastrians (Parsis) intermixed with local groups sometime after their arrival in India, dating this mixture to 690-1390 CE and providing strong evidence that Iranian Zoroastrian ancestry was maintained primarily through the male line. …”

Mutation history of the roma/gypsies. by Morar, B, Gresham, D, Angelicheva, D, Tournev, I, Gooding, R, Guergueltcheva, V, Schmidt, C, Abicht, A, Lochmuller, H, Tordai, A, Kalmar, L, Nagy, M, Karcagi, V, Jeanpierre, M, Herczegfalvi, A, Beeson, D, Venkataraman, V, Warwick Carter, K, Reeve, J, de Pablo, R, Kucinskas, V, Kalaydjieva, L

“…The existence of multiple subisolates, with endogamy maintained to the present day, suggests a general approach to complex disorders in which initial gene mapping could be performed in large families from a single Gypsy group, whereas fine mapping would rely on the informed sampling of the divergent subisolates and searching for the shared genomic region that displays the strongest linkage disequilibrium with the disease.…”

Jewish identity construction and perpetuation in contemporary Britain by Fuhr, C

“…This norm is created and sustained by its members through their focus on endogamy. Wanting to have a partner from one’s own group, have Jewish children and raise them in a Jewish lifestyle can, thereby, reinforce and maintain a sense of Jewishness (inter-) generationally. …”

How and why did MARS facilitate migration control? Understanding the implication of migration and refugee studies (MARS) with the restriction of human mobility by UK state agencies by Hatton, J

“…It is through the field’s implication in the coercion of its human subjects by UK state agencies that MARS academics a) answered their calling, b) assisted class rule as ideologists, and c) separated sacred and profane by policing endogamy.</p><p>The introduction describes the existing literature on the relationship between MARS and migration control. …”
