Total price with shipping, checked on 6 October 2026.A short essay published in French in 1980 as La Chambre claire, Roland Barthes's last book and the only one he devoted entirely to photography. Starting from a handful of images, he asks what effect a photograph has on the person looking at it, and proposes two notions: the studium, the cultural interest in what the picture shows, and the punctum, the detail that wounds or moves the viewer personally. The second part turns on a photograph of his late mother that the book never reproduces.
