Camera Lucida by Roland Barthes

Just taking notes about the main points of this book to keep in eye in the future this so important and interesting topic.
Studium - extent body of information, application to a thing, taste for someone, commitment without special acuity. Political, historical, cultural figures, faces, gestures, actions, the settings.

Punctum - disturbs the studium
"in photography the punctum is an accident which pricks me."
"what the photograph thinks of itself"
(pictorialism)
