An essential guide to an essential book, this first anthology on Camera Lucida offers critical perspectives on Barthes's influential text.
Roland Barthes's 1980 book Camera Lucida is perhaps the most influential book ever published on photography. The terms studium and punctum, coined by Barthes for two different ways of responding to photographs, are part of the standard lexicon for discussions of photography; Barthes's understanding of photographic time and the relationship he forges between photography and death have been invoked countless times in photographic discourse; and the current interest in vernacular photographs and the ubiquity of subjective, even novelistic, ways of writing about photography both owe something to Barthes. Photography Degree Zero, the first anthology of writings on Camera Lucida, goes beyond the usual critical orthodoxies to offer a range of perspectives on Barthes's important book.
Photography Degree Zero (the title links Barthes's first book, Writing Degree Zero, to his last, Camera Lucida) includes essays written soon after Barthes's book appeared as well as more recent rereadings of it, some previously unpublished. The contributors' approaches range from psychoanalytical (in an essay drawing on the work of Lacan) to Buddhist (in an essay that compares the photographic flash to the mystic's light of revelation); they include a history of Barthes's writings on photography and an account of Camera Lucida and its reception; two views of the book through the lens of race; and a provocative essay by Michael Fried and two responses to it. The variety of perspectives included in Photography Degree Zero, and the focus on Camera Lucida in the context of photography rather than literature or philosophy, serve to reopen a vital conversation on Barthes's influential work.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本關於《Camera Lucida》的首部選集是一本必備指南,提供了對巴特(Barthes)這部具影響力文本的批判性觀點。
羅蘭·巴特(Roland Barthes)於1980年出版的書籍《Camera Lucida》或許是有史以來對攝影影響最大的書籍。巴特為兩種不同的攝影反應方式所創造的術語 studium 和 punctum,已成為攝影討論的標準詞彙;巴特對攝影時間的理解以及他所建立的攝影與死亡之間的關係在攝影論述中被引用無數次;而當前對民俗攝影的興趣以及主觀、甚至小說化的攝影寫作方式的普遍性,皆與巴特有著某種關聯。《Photography Degree Zero》是關於《Camera Lucida》的首部寫作選集,超越了通常的批評正統,提供了對巴特這本重要書籍的多元觀點。
《Photography Degree Zero》(書名將巴特的第一本書《Writing Degree Zero》與他的最後一本書《Camera Lucida》聯繫在一起)包含了巴特的書籍出版後不久所寫的文章,以及一些較新的重讀,部分為未曾發表的作品。貢獻者的研究方法從精神分析(在一篇借鑒拉岡(Lacan)工作的文章中)到佛教(在一篇將攝影閃光比擬為神秘者啟示之光的文章中)不等;其中包括巴特對攝影的寫作歷史以及《Camera Lucida》的背景和其接受情況;通過種族視角的兩種對書籍的看法;以及邁克爾·弗里德(Michael Fried)的一篇挑釁性文章及其兩篇回應。選集《Photography Degree Zero》中所包含的多樣觀點,以及在攝影的背景下而非文學或哲學中聚焦於《Camera Lucida》,重新開啟了對巴特這部具影響力作品的重要對話。
