Resumo
Fotografias estão constantemente ao nosso redor: nos jornais, revistas, outdoors, galerias de arte, nos envolvendo também de forma mais íntima através dos álbuns de família. Colecionar imagens de momentos importantes tais como nascimentos, casamentos, aniversários e viagens é costume de quase toda família, mas por que registrar e guardar estas lembranças? A fim de explorar detalhadamente a relação dos membros da família com seus acervos fotográficos, rastreando os sentidos dos álbuns, realizamos uma investigação tendo como participantes duas famílias: Aragão e Silva. Cada família possuía três voluntários que foram entrevistados individualmente, tendo como foco as narrativas instigadas por fotografias previamente selecionadas de momentos importantes para a família. A conduta básica do entrevistador pautou-se por intervenções mínimas, deixando os entrevistados discorrerem sobre as imagens. Como principais resultados observamos que, apesar das diferenças quanto ao relacionamento com o álbum da família, as fotos guardadas permitem a revisitação de experiências, a re-significação de acontecimentos e a criação de narrativas. No contato com interlocutores possibilita-se a produção de sentido de forma que o sujeito se reconhece como parte de uma história construída coletivamente. Dessa forma, o álbum de família é um importante acervo documental iconográfico e patrimônio do grupo familiar. Funciona não somente como arquivo de registros da memória, mas, sobretudo, como imagens disparadoras de afetos, sentimentos e recordações instigadores de narrativas capazes de ampliar a compreensão do passado e do presente.
Photographs are constantly around us in newspapers, magazines, advertizing bill boards, art galleries and specially through the family albums. Collecting pictures of special occasions like births, weddings, birthdays, and trips are a custom of almost any family. Why register and file these souveniers? In order to explore in detail the relation of the family with their photo album and trace the significance of the photo album for the family, a recent study between two families, Aragão and Silva was carried out. This study involved six volunteers, three in each family who were interviewed individually on their personal memories of each pre-selected picture shown of their own family pictures. The behavior of the interviewer was based on minimum interventions, leaving the participants free to discourse about the images. As a result it was observed that regardless of the differences in relationship of the photo album, the pictures allowed the participants to revisit experiences, re-signify events and create vivid memory narratives. The significance of recollective memory is made through contact with others and one recognizes himself as part of a history constructed collectively. In this way, the family album is an important iconographic documented legacy for the family and therefore, not only a file of registered souveniers but over all as images of affection, feelings and memories that instigate narratives capable of extending/amplifying the past and the present.
