Roland Barthes. "Camera Lucida. Annotating a photo"
"Camera lucida. Annotating Photography" is a textbook study of the French philosopher Roland Barthes, dedicated to the photographic medium. This, without exaggeration, the most well-known text about photography has still not lost its relevance, but, unfortunately, it has never been translated into Ukrainian.
"Camera lucida" is Barth's last book, published a few months before his death. This short exploration is both a study of the nature of the photographic medium and a personal reflection on the death of the mother, whose true image the author tries to find in her childhood picture. The emotional tension with which Barthes mourns the departure of a loved one turns the cultural analysis of photography into a phenomenological one: according to Barthes, photography appears as asymbolic, extra-semiotic, and capable of affecting emotions and the body, bypassing rational analysis.
