SUMMARY:When a photograph is family. Thoughts on audience and image in Afri
 ca
DESCRIPTION:In  South Africa portrait images displayed  in  homes emphasi
 zed the  dignity of their subjects and  the  stability of family life du
 ring a  period of indignity  and  social upheaval under apartheid. But w
 hen   interviewing  families about these images one often  encounters s
 ensitivity  issues too often overlooked by  scholars and  curators who 
  examine studio practices without  consulting the subjects  of  the imag
 es. These include  anxiety about repackaging for  display in  new contex
 ts and  for broader audiences\, as well  as basic copyright  concerns. 
 In this paper\, based on recent   research on  family collections of pho
 tographs in South  Africa's  black  urban neighborhoods\, begins in a  
 "performative" mode\, describing the  types and  uses  of photographs ke
 pt as family mementos in South  Africa's  black homes. It then suggest m
 ethods to   address the critical  issues related to privacy\, secrecy\,
   patrimony\,  and  iconoclasm that everywhere arise in  vernacular ima
 ge studies  but  are not always foregrounded  in writing and display for
  a  wider audience.
