| Sumario: | Marianne Hirsch's book 'Marcos Familiares: Fotografía, Narrativa y Posmemoria' explores the intersection of family photography, narrative, and the concept of postmemory. As a feminist critique, it examines how family photography acts as a reproductive technology that reinforces traditional family roles and myths, while also serving as a tool for political resistance and memory, particularly in the context of Argentina's post-dictatorship era. The book discusses the role of family photographs in preserving memory, highlighting their capacity to convey personal loss, nostalgia, and resistance. Hirsch introduces the concept of postmemory, describing the relationship of subsequent generations to the traumatic experiences of their predecessors, mediated through images and narratives. The book is significant for those interested in visual culture, memory studies, and the impact of political regimes on family structures. Intended for scholars and readers interested in feminist theory, cultural memory, and the socio-political role of photography, the book provides a nuanced view of how personal and collective memories are constructed and preserved.
