Izvleček:Hitherto, sibling ties have received little attention from the social sciences, even though they constitute a close kinship link that pervades daily life in families. While most studies on kinship focus on filiation or alliance, some surveys devoted to the siblings themselves (adelphia) have emerged over the last few decades. These show that social norms between siblings are weak; we can speak of a “shunt connection” because the sibling tie depends on how it is inserted into the kinship network. Meanwhile, there are also inequalities that are partly denied because of a complex relationship with the notion of equality. Recent changes in the sibling tie also reflect the growing tensions between genetic kinship and intentional kinship that characterise changes in the family.
