La carte postale disparue : esquisses d’une histoire singulière.

Through the lens of a critical autoethnography, this article explores how a postcard, an artefact produced in the context of the French-Algerian war, creates an opening in the transmission of the colonial past between generations. Discovered several decades ago in the family house, the postcard in question, although now physically lost, resurfaces in the present time and interrogates both reception and filiation of our colonial legacy. Relating to this image-object becomes a starting point for a process of recreating and reconstructing; it results in a singular and evolving narrative, a step in curating our colonial memory.
