Description

The family photograph offers a unique insight into identity and past. Picturing the Family explores how visual representations of the family reveal both personal and shared histories, evaluating the value of photography and film in understanding collective memories. This collection of essays brings together scholars and artists to discuss the role of visual media in shaping our understanding of family and memory. Through a range of case studies, from personal photographs to online sales of family albums, the book examines how these representations perform memory and identity. By considering the implications of new cultural forms for our perception of the family and its relationship with the past, Picturing the Family provides a nuanced exploration of the complex relationships between visual media, memory, and identity.
