A imagem familiar: memória, tempo e fotografia

Abstract

This text presents the thinking of personalities such as Joan Fontcuberta (2010), Roland Barthes (1984), Siegfried Kracauer (2008), Eugenio Bucci (2008) and Mario Quintana (1983) on certain photos of families, helping to intend the relationship between time and space, life and death, and permanence and impermanence of images. The purpose is to understand how memory processes triggered by such photographs lead to the same direction: that it does not freeze time, but carries a fl ow oriented to both past and future. Keywords: photography, memory, time.
