L'enfance, laboratoire du genre

Abstract

Family photography, contrary to first impressions, is not a spontaneously undertaken activity. It is a structured activity, if only through the choice of camera, of the moments photographed or of the photographs put in the album. It requires, as a result, a director. The article explores family photography through the lens of the gender of the person involved. It argues thas that these moments when parents become the historiographers of their offspring’s childhood are the objet of a division of labor within the couple. The article questions, as well, whether the digital experience will change this gendered division of tasks.
