Family Secrets: Acts of Memory and Imagination / Edition 2 in Bloomington, MN

Annette Kuhn’s work as a theorist of culture has won her a wide reputation for dissecting film and other images in books such as
Women’s Pictures
and
The Power of the Image
. In
Family Secrets
, she turns her attention to the deconstruction of pictures closer to home—photographs from her own childhood and images from her shared ethnographic past—to trace a trajectory from personal to collective acts of memory.
