Sommario/riassunto

Family photography is now more popular than ever thanks to technological advances which allow the storing and sharing of vast numbers of pictures. Here, case study material drawn from the UK offers a deeper understanding of both domestic family photographs and their public display. Recent work in material culture studies,



geography, and anthropology is used to approach photographs as objects embedded in social practices, which produce specific social positions, relations and effects.
