This article analyzes a photographic album containing images dated between 1940 and 1970 compiled by a working-class woman from Tandil, a medium-sized city in the province of Buenos Aires (Argentina). The analysis of the photographic album -as a distinctive narrative support- is regarded as an ideal means of exploring the practices of family and gender representation in urban working-class sectors. It is argued that the visual narration contained in the album creates a gender identity that contrasts with the hegemonic stereotype of the period of woman, wife, and housewife, thereby illustrating the strategies of reception and re-appropriation of the ideal models of women, family, and domesticity in these sectors. From an analytical point of view, a study of the visual and narrative content of the album and its photographs is proposed to recover the context of uses, conventions and meanings in which they were produced.

Palabras llave : album; family; photography; gender; working-class sectors.
