“An absorbing and beautiful book that reshapes the relations between feminism and cultural studies . . . teaches us new ways of learning to make our own personal and collective histories.” … Meaghan Morris
“An accessible, self-questioning, thoughtful book which takes one on a fascinating, labyrinthine journey from the family photograph album to filmic representations of the past.” … Raphael Samuel
Annette Kuhn has earned a wide reputation as a theorist of culture, dissecting film and other images in books like Women’s Pictures and The Power of the Image. In this compelling book, 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.
Annette Kuhn is Professor of Film Studies at Lancaster University, and an editor of the journal Screen. Her publications include Cinema, Censorship, and Sexuality, 1909 to 1925 and, most recently, An Everyday Magic: Cinema and Cultural Memory.
