Punishment, for example, is important, but “beatings,” or “excessive abuse,” or incest, or (some) other “particular” actions are to be seen as bad “variations,” whereas families as structures of ageism and sexism inclusionarily, and classism and racism exclusionarily, and which construct relations among members in terms of dominance/subordination and in which male and adult power are a continuous structural feature, are seen as what family relations are and are not themselves “abusive” (what are, in power’s language, the criterial and institutional bases realized/particularized as “family values”). […] Capitalism, for example, is called good even though it is explicitly a structure of class dominance/exploitation/oppression (which also entails racism/sexism/ageism/speciesism); the family is said to be good even though it is inclusionarily sexist and ageist, and exclusionarily racist and classist); etc.

1997, Creel Froman, Language and Power: Books VIII and IX, Humanities Press, →ISBN, pages 7 and 117:

Furthermore, the study reveals that, in trying to explain the formation of juvenile attitudes about boundary issues, institutions are relevant when related to the conjunctive experiences manifested in the group-specific habitus: while young immigrants argue more inclusionarily than natives in terms of community-related preconditions, especially as far as the roles of language and citizenship are concerned, students argue more exclusionarily than apprentices when it comes to competence-related preconditions, especially civic education.

Whereas he finds that these meanings are “often not consistent with one another, or even flatly at odds,” he believes that they can all be derived from “persuasion” as the “Edenic” term, from which they have all “Babylonically” split, while persuasion, in turn “involves communication by the signs of consubstantiality, the appeal of identification.”
