Abstract

This paper aims to develop a differentiation among the various ways that people appear in family registries which use analogical supports. We will also point out the possibility of the end of the pose in these images, related to the development of new image and sound digital technologies. We also intend to use these first findings as the foundation for future studies associating either the pose itself or its extinction to the importance of imagery in the family context, the concepts of intimacy and memory, as well as the role of the family in society.
