Resumen
La imagen de familia se enfrenta a diversos fenómenos: Dueña de una tradición ligada al deseo de auto representación y reconocimiento dentro de la sociedad, es también el mejor ejemplo de imagen creada a partir de un sistema de representación estereotipado ¿Pero qué es lo que se oculta tras éste estereotipo? Viene a ser en la imagen donde se hace visible la extimidad; lo éxtimo es algo íntimo, profundo, pero que permanece en el exterior (Miller, 2010). Si la fotografía captura apariencias, esta idea de extimidad nos daría la esperanza de encontrar algo profundo y esencial detrás de la superficie propia de la captura fotográfica. La imagen revela lo que los sujetos ocultan, como una suerte de traición desde la confianza. Requiere de quién observa algo más que la contemplación. Requiere atención; en últimas, tiempo para revelar sus secretos ocultos a plena vista.
Abstract. The image of the family faces various phenomena: owner of a tradition linked to the desire for self-representation and recognition within society, is perhaps the best example of image created from the stereotype. But ¿what does it lies behind this stereotype? There, in the system of representation, extimity becomes visible. The extime is something deeply intimate, which still remains on the outside (Miller, 2010). If the photograph captures appearances, this idea of extimacy could give us the hope of finding something deep and essential behind the surface captured by the photo. The image reveals what the subjects hide, as a kind of betrayal from the trust. It requires from the viewer more than a simple contemplation; it requires attention, at last, time to reveal their secrets hidden in plain sight.
