Description
"Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography" by Roland Barthes is a seminal work in the field of photographic theory, published in 1980. This deeply personal and philosophical text explores the nature and essence of photography through Barthes' own experiences and reflections. The book is divided into two parts, intertwining Barthes' theoretical musings with his emotional journey following the death of his mother. In the first part of "Camera Lucida," Barthes introduces key concepts that frame his analysis of photographs. He distinguishes between the "studium" and the "punctum." The "studium" refers to the cultural, linguistic, and political interpretation of a photograph—how it is understood and appreciated by viewers through a shared set of cultural codes and meanings.
