Abstract

Pluralization and dynamics of development, institutionalization, variability of discursive practices problematize the phenomenon of non-modal parenting. The paradoxical absence of a theoretical framework makes it an attempt to conceptualize it based on the analysis of domestic and foreign publications on this topic. The research methodology is based on the family change or crisis theory, theoretical approaches of T. Parsons, P. Bourdieu, A. Giddens, Z. Bauman. Non-modal parenting as a subject of study can be specified as a family substitute, social practice, social identity. The properties of modal family practices described by A.A. Kletsin: statistical norm, adaptability, subjective perception, cultural-relativistic. In article author proposed the criterial dichotomies and the definition of non-modal parenting. The main differences between alternative/ non-normative models from traditional are concentrated around the structure of childhood and parenthood, the emergence, realization, subjectivity, relevance and perception of the non-modal parenting.
