Rewriting The How-To Of Parenting: What Is Really Modern About Abc’S Modern Family, Sylvia Henneberg
Rewriting The How-To Of Parenting: What Is Really Modern About Abc’S Modern Family, Sylvia Henneberg
Journal of Interdisciplinary Feminist Thought
Despite its unconventional family structures and playful gestures at redefining traditional gender scripts, ABC’s domestic comedy, Modern Family, perpetuates perceived notions of femininity and masculinity within the context of three families whose differences from the nuclear family are far from radical.

This sense of abandonment extended to the theological realm. For Shakur, God the Father “can’t come where I’m at.” He is, in a sense, a “deadbeat dad.” Like the absentee father, He has placed him here, abandoned, the product of a broken home and broken world, with few resources by which to find his way. Understanding a father-less Tupac Shakur and his syncretic quest …
