The family representations that Health Programs in Chile presuppose are disseminated through technological devices such as the web; these are created by makers of signs immersed in a culture with a historical, social and political load about the family based on the construction of a family model which is valid in a given Chilean society. Currently, affective and sexual relations between people include natural or technological forms of reproduction, which puts a strain on the traditional family model. This ruling provides room for other family models (homoparental) as opposed to the reproductive family of yesteryear based on men and women as only form. The present article aims at a theoretical reflection on the family models that are institutionally disseminated through images with their respective visual text through the web. It proposes a multimodal analysis to address the visual texts of the Chile Grows with You Program, starting with an analysis from the representational function: actors, actions and circumstances (Kress y Leeuwen, 2006). It is concluded that the images correspond to the guiding text and refer to upbringing as a central theme, reinforcing gender roles as mother, father and child, which assumes heteronormativity. It reflects on the representations of the family and its power as an institution, in addition to the potential of the media such as the web to promote ideologies and representations of family that allow the construction of a mental image to generate new representations of family different from the heteronormative one.
