- 요약This dissertation considers how everyday acts of amateur curation within family media archives, performed by everyday amateur media-makers, shape what gets remembered at the level of personal memory, cultural memory, and national memory. Developing the notion of "memorial housekeeping," it maps the contours of current scholarship concerning family photography, home movies, and home video on magnetic tape alongside feminist politics of domestic labor, analyzing the ways that curation "cleans up" familial memory materially, textually, and rhetorically. Analyzing acts of curation across personal archives, regional archives, and national archives, I argue that-like domestic labor-memorial housekeeping "cleans up" the content of familial media images, shaping the ways that familial and cultural memory are constructed from them in the process. At the forefront of historiographical reckonings with the misrepresentation of marginalized communities in dominant cultural institutions, archival institutions frequently accession amateur familial media archives into their collections. As such, examining everyday performances of curatorial labor demonstrates the political importance of families and communities constructing and shaping their own memories through self-representation. By analyzing the inclusion (and exclusion) of "bad" images, unflattering content, and violent ideologies in familial media archives, I show how domestic and familial metaphors for nationhood invoke the same gender-, race-, and class-based discriminations as domestic labor to gatekeep what knowledge gets excluded from cultural memory, performing memorial housekeeping at the level of cultural history. Analyzing power differentials across personal and anonymous imagery, domestic and institutional archival settings, and private and public modes of circulation reveals how amateur curation is central to the production and maintenance of familial memory, while also shaping the cultural histories that get written about it.
