520			\|a HIV/AIDS has devastated families in rural Lesotho, leaving many children orphaned. Families have adapted to the increase in the number of orphans and HIV-positive children in ways that provide children with the best possible care. Though local ideas about kinship and care are firmly rooted in patrilineal social organization, in practice, maternal caregivers, often grandmothers, are increasingly caring for orphaned children. Negotiations between affinal kin capitalize on flexible kinship practices in order to legitimate new patterns of care, which have shifted towards a model that often favours matrilocal practices of care in the context of idealized patrilineality. Le SIDA a décimé les familles dans les zones rurales du Lesotho, laissant de nombreux enfants orphelins. Les familles se sont adaptées à cette augmentation du nombre d'orphelins et d'enfants porteurs du VIH de façon à leur assurer les meilleurs soins possibles. Bien que les idées locales sur la parenté et les soins soient fermement ancrées dans une organisation sociale patrilinéaire, ce sont en pratique des figures maternelles, souvent des grands-mères, qui s'occupent des orphelins. Les négociations entre affins profitent de la souplesse des liens de parenté pour légitimer de nouveaux modèles de prise en charge, qui se rapprochent d'un modèle de soin souvent matrilocal dans le contexte d'une patrilinéarité idéalisée.
