ABSTRACT
This study has focused on the daily cycle of struggle and resistance between parents and their children, and the way in which techniques of normalization regulated and controlled their lives. As such, it presents a challenge to the political neutrality of the family, family life, and the normalization and regulation of persons, sites, and practices involved in daily domesticity. It also endorses parent and child conflict as a site of power relations that are continually contested, negotiated, and challenged.
