Annotation
Photographs and videos, as components of family archives, (re)construct memories of individuals and social groups (from family to society). The dissertation project explores the relationship between „small" and „grand" narratives in family memory by exploring audiovisual sources. It specifically addresses the issue of intergenerational transfer of memories in the context of individual and collective remembering. The research is grounded in the principles of multimodal anthropology and supports knowledge production through various methods across media. Beyond the obligatory textual component, other creative forms (video, series of photographs, comics, performance, etc.) are therefore welcomed as part of the output.
