and 1980. Roland Barthes does not know, but wrote his last book. The title is: "Camera Lucida. Note on the photograph. " Obviously, it is a book any. Not so much because it's the last of Barthes, this is not to make it valuable. Rather, because in those pages are kept for ever, a ' lighting. There are two ways to tell if a book, its author, are critical to us. The first way is numerical and statistical in nature: you can try to count the number of times that the book is quoted, said, suggested, then compile statistics and standings, and finally see what book rests on top of all those numbers. The second way is more subtle, less obvious: open the book, read it thoroughly, and find a line between the other modes exact name human experience. The great books, their authors, are just that: to name the experience, to name things. If things have a name, you know, they can defend yourself. Subtract the indeterminacy knowledge, great books, their authors. Specific names, with blacks and indelible characters, where before there was a white map with no reference. The human experience, the knowledge of experience, is all in the presence of those names inscribed on mappa.
Così, nel suo ultimo libro, Barthes formula per la prima volta due parole: studium e punctum . Provengono dal latino, quelle parole. E, nella loro sinteticità, definiscono il rapporto singolare che scaturisce dall’incontro dell’uomo con il mondo. Lo studium è il nostro accostarsi disinteressato al mondo: “ l’applicazione a una cosa, il gusto per qualcuno, una sorta d’interessamento, sollecito, certo, senza nessuna intensità ”. Mentre il punctum è il nostro concedersi al mondo quando il mondo si scaglia su di noi in tutta la sua potenza. È mondo che ferisce, the punctum, which runs through all the senses, that troubles you, which explodes and explodes inside of you for the intensity of that particular experience. Barthes way: "A detail is to upset all my reading; is a change in my interest alive, a revelation. Because of the impression of something , the photo is no longer a photo any . This something done to tilt , gave me a slight vibration . Try to think of every time I saw a movie, hearing the music, living situation, something, without explanation, a sudden, you left a very strong feeling enjoyment of, or otherwise in pain. What is the punctum: when you and the world, experience the world, become one.
this blog, so, wants to be this: an annotated list of these moments of intense pleasure or pain during my experience of the world. I'll try to figure out and understand why something, someone, for better or for worse, it hit me. And if you failed to understand it and understand it, just tell him. It's very subjective, the punctum. Everyone can have his own, in various situations. So bear with me. If something does not tell you square, you write well. The comments are at your disposal.
