Abstract: The family photo, as well as an object flooding households, is also a way of developping iconic spaces in which the members can learn and develop oneself as part of a family. Rather than inert and past objects, can we not think of them as a third part, a mediator between real and idealized family? Hidden or shown, staged in domestic ceremonies or captured on the spot by digitisation, these photos are, on top of being explicit stories, a kind of immersion in images in which and through which we can recongnize ourselves as part of a lineage. To hermeneutics of narratives do they not add hermeneutics of family pictures ?
