| Sumario: | [EN] On the late 19th century, photography became the perfect hobby for high class citizens thanks to the advancements in technology that transformed the medium. It is estimated that in the mid 19th century Madrid there existed no less than one thousand amateur photographers and more than three thousand in Barcelona. As the years passed, the photographic apparatus became a common tool, up to the extent that, after the first half of the 20th century, the average middle class family had a camera in their homes. This fact enforced the progressive accumulation of photographic images and conditioned the fate of many of them: the oblivion. Well entered the 21st century, we urge to rescue the images that were bound to be silenced thanks to our concern towards historic memory, the imposition of the so-called digital culture and the rise of visual studies. The present article aims to question the paradigms that govern the notion of photographic value and its own ambivalent nature; asking where the boundaries are between valid and excluded, we will reformulate the idea of a living photographic archive, which extends to History as a discipline, a living discipline that continues to be rewritten. |
