Thesis (Ed.D.)--Columbia University Teachers College, 2005.

The research question for this dissertation emerged through an art exhibition I created entitled, recollections, shown at Macy Gallery, Teachers College. The works in the exhibition illustrated how ordinary objects that are collected in homes such as photographs, diaries, souvenirs, old love letters, and drawings prompt memories and provoke stories about past experiences.

520 $a The research question for this dissertation emerged through an art exhibition I created entitled, recollections, shown at Macy Gallery, Teachers College. The works in the exhibition illustrated how ordinary objects that are collected in homes such as photographs, diaries, souvenirs, old love letters, and drawings prompt memories and provoke stories about past experiences.
520 $a As a consequence of the exhibition, there was still a lack of understanding of how owners of family photographs assign meanings to their treasured images. This appeared a worthy investigation as current literature presents debates about the rationale of using ordinary images and experiences as sites of inquiry in art education. A central argument for studying photographs as cultural artifacts is that, like many examples of visual culture, family photographs and the stories associated with them hold significant capacity for understanding human conditions within cultural systems and through social practices. Therefore, the research question is, what evidence is there that family photographs, as examples of visual culture, and their associated narratives organize experience?
520 $a This study is a narrative inquiry that relied on material culture and image-based research methodologies. The data for the research include the collection of photographs belonging to my family, which spans the 1890s through the present. Seven members of my family were participants in interviews that focused on a representative sample of photographs.
520 $a Analysis of the data reveals that family photographs make meaning of life as it is lived through hinging narratives. Such narratives are prompted by specific formal elements, or visual hinges, in photographs. Hinging narratives exhibit reflexivity by seamlessly assimilating the photograph's and the viewer's contexts into their construction. Finally, hinging narratives contain a sense of longing, or a person's desire to know his or her present existence based on past experiences.
520 $a The findings suggest that family photographs may be used within a visual culture approach to art education where learners understand how their personal narratives give structure to their lives and through which connections to broader cultural contexts are made evident. In doing so, learners are given a venue for developing opinions about political and social conditions and for constructing worldviews.
