Reviews

I especially loved the first half of this book; Barthes' theory of the punctum has stuck with me since I took a class on the semiotics and poetics of the image in early 2014, and reading the source material is even more illuminating. I'm not a huge theory lover, but Barthes definitely does it for me.
