El álbum familiar: Fotos de familia en la configuración de subjetividades

Abstract

The family album is a photographic practice linked to analog technology, from which families formed social and cultural representations of themselves. The main object of analysis is the process in which, from the practices, relationships are developed between the subjects that carry them out and these same ones, forming a production of intersubjective relationships from photography. In the family the visual practice acts, which is composed of: capturing photographs, material and symbolic construction, treasuring and narrating photographs; these are four moments in which the family constructs what is important to it, how it symbolizes, materializes and imagines its own family reality, expressing a way of seeing themselves and a way of seeing others, as a system of representation. Through a series of experiences in the research with different families with their family albums, we arrive at the visual analysis of the practice of the that’s, in which a series of knowledge about family ideas converge, these knowledges are the result of a practice that composes a series of relationships between family imaginaries and the uses of images.
