Synopsis "Camera Lucida: Vintage Design Edition (in English)"

Barthes investigation into the meaning of photographs is a seminal work of twentieth-century critical theory. This is a special Vintage Design Edition, with fold-out cover and stunning photography throughout. Examining themes of presence and absence, these reflections on photography begin as an investigation into the nature of photographs – their content, their pull on the viewer, their intimacy. Then, as Barthes contemplates a photograph of his mother as a child, the book becomes an exposition of his own mind. He was grieving for his mother at the time of writing. Strikingly personal, yet one of the most important early academic works on photography, Camera Lucida remains essential reading for anyone interested in the power of images.‘Effortlessly, as if in passing, his reflections on photography raise questions and doubts which will permanently affect the vision of the reader’ Guardian

(1915-1980) Fue una de las figuras intelectuales más importantes que emergieron en Francia en la posguerra, y sus escritos son, todavía hoy, objeto de estudio y discusión. Este crítico y ensayista francés, desarrolló gran parte de su trabajo en un ambiguo espacio entre la lingüística y la literatura. Entre sus libros, obtuvieron gran reconocimiento sus estudios semiológicos sobre la imagen. En 1977 fue designado titular de la cátedra de Semiología Literaria del Collège de France, que fue creada especialmente para él por consejo de Michel Foucault. Barthes se definió a sí mismo como “un sujeto incierto”: demasiado literario para los lingüistas, demasiado lingüista para los críticos literarios. Quizá sea este rasgo el que lo ha convertido en uno de los pensadores y teóricos más influyentes en su campo.
