Reseña del libro "Private Subjects. Family Photography in South Africa and the Right to Opacity (en Inglés)"

In Private Subjects, John Peffer presents perspectives about everyday uses of photography in predominantly Black South African communities during apartheid to give insight into how these images are seen through the eyes of those who own them today. In South Africa, portrait photography was used to create positive self-images during times of hardship and subjection. Peffer shows how owners limited the distribution of their photographs to close networks of family and friends as a means of establishing control over their own image. He develops an intersubjective method for writing about vernacular photographic experience that keeps the people that appear in those photographs at the center of the story, creating a space to converse about race and history in their own ways rather than be explained from outside the frame. He then considers cultural and legal histories of the ownership of the self-image, theorizes an ethics for looking at others’ private family photographs, and argues for a model of writing and scholarship that protects people’s desires for opacity.

During apartheid in South Africa, Black citizens kept a close watch on the circulation of their photographs. John Peffer shows how this ethics continues to this day as he explores the ways subjects and their families control their own photographic stories.
