Summary:
Photography is fundamentally a time-based medium. The relationships between photography and time are manifold: snapshots are slices of time, time can be directly represented within the image, time can be photographys theme and philosophical horizon, photographic practices develop and change across time. This book brings together the various aspect of time in photography and of photography in time. Its chapters focus on seminal authors (including Fox Talbot, Victor Burgin, and Robert Morris) and genres, with examples ranging from the very first photographic pictures to the most recent uses of photography in and outside art. Given the multifaceted dimensions of the notion of time, the book fosters an interdisciplinary approach, gathering essays by historians of photography as well as by authors with a critical or philosophical background. It shows how some interpretations of photography are indebted to fields that have a great expertise in analyzing time, such as narratology and literature.

The resultant photo book, "The Americans", represents a seminal moment in both photography and in America's understanding of itself. To mark the book’s fiftieth anniversary, Jonathan Day revisits this pivotal work and contributes a critical commentary. Though the importance of The Americans has been widely acknowledged, it still retains much of its mystery. This analysis places it in the context of contemporary photography, literature, music, and advertising from its own period through the present.

Il décrit l'influence de la révolution numérique sur notre vision du monde et son rendu photographique tant par les amateurs que par les professionnels et revient sur l'évolution des pratiques de manipulation des images dans les médias qui révèle une confusion entre monde réel et "réalité" virtuelle. L'auteur ouvre également une multitude de pistes de nature à transformer en richesse ce qui risquerait sinon de nous appauvrir. Les liens hypertextes, par exemple, offrent d'immenses possibilités de dialogue et d'enrichissement mutuel d'un cliché mis en ligne. Le banal cadre des photos pourrait être transformé en un " puzzle " donnant accès à de multiples voix contradictoires qui enrichiraient la valeur informative de l'image et par là même lui permettrait de retrouver son degré d'authenticité.

Summary:
A graceful, contemplative volume, Camera Lucida was first published in 1979. Commenting on artists such as Avedon, Clifford, Mapplethorpe, and Nadar, Roland Barthes presents photography as being outside the codes of language or culture, acting on the body as much as on the mind, and rendering death and loss more acutely than any other medium.
