Camera Lucida

"Barthes considers photography as asymbolic, irreducible to the codes of language or culture, acting on the body as much as on the mind. The book 'Camera Lucida' develops the twin concepts of studium and punctum: studium denoting the cultural, linguistic, and political interpretation of a photograph, punctum denoting the wounding, personally touching detail which establishes a direct relationship with the object or person within it"
