Paperback. Condizione: New. Benjamin, Barthes and the Singularity of Photography presents two of the most important intellectual figures of the twentieth century in a new comparative light. Pursuing hitherto unexplored aspects of Benjamin's and Barthes's engagement with photography, it provides new interpretations of familiar texts and analyzes material which has only recently become available. It argues that despite the different historical, philosophical and cultural contexts of their work, Benjamin and Barthes engage with similar issues and problems that photography uniquely poses, including the relationship between the photograph and its beholder as a confrontation between self and other, and the dynamic relation between time, subjectivity, memory and loss. Each writer emphasizes the singular event of the photograph's apprehension and its ethical and existential aspects rooted in the power and poignancy of photographic images. Mapping the complex relationship between photographic history and theory, cultural criticism and autobiography, this book will be of considerable interest not only to historians and theorists of photography but also to scholars working in literary and cultural studies.…

Condizione: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Walter Benjamin y Roland Barthes son, sin lugar a dudas, dos de las presencias intelectuales más relevantes del siglo XX, pero a pesar de que sus ideas han sido cruciales para entender la importancia cultural y artística de la fotografía tanto como medio, negocio o arte, raramente se ha planteado un estudio en el que se analizaran ambas figuras de manera comparativa y bajo una misma luz. En este ensayo, Kathrin Yacavone toma como punto de partida esa vinculación de Barthes y Benjamin con la fotografía y, a partir de la interpretación de material conocido y de nuevos documentos recientemente puestos a disposición de la comunidad intelectual, traza unas líneas de estudio que le ayudan a acercar posiciones entre ambos. A lo largo de su vida, Benjamin y Barthes mantuvieron preocupaciones similares: la paradoja que representa una fotografía la captura de una realidad, convertida en una ficción, y las relaciones dinámicas que presenta con cuestiones como el tiempo, la subjetividad, la memoria y la sensación de pérdida. Al trazar las líneas de conexión entre la fotografía en sí y sus interpretaciones históricas y teóricas, este libro se transforma de inmediato en una herramienta útil no sólo para quien desea abordar la fotografía como una cuestión crítica, sino para cualquier persona preocupada por saber cuáles son nuestras motivaciones para conservar, de manera artificial, nuestros más íntimos fragmentos de vida. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This book traces the nineteenth-century origins and rapid spread of the photographic author portrait. Innovatively exploring the combined socio-cultural, media- and photo-historical, and literary critical dynamics that shaped the trans- and intermedial production, uses, and reception of author portraits as exemplars of modern celebrity, it provides new perspectives on authorship as fundamentally shaped by photography. Based on extensive archival research, the book shows how photographic portraits of French authors were not mere visual appendages to their published works but significantly impacted on the (self-) presentation and reception of writers as cultural celebrities, through the unique affordances of the new medium. Analyses photographic portraits of nineteenth-century authors as exemplars of intermedial authorship and modern literary celebrity culture.
