Books that made a difference: Camera Lucida (Roland Barthes, 1980)
If you’ve never heard of Roland Barthes, congrats - clearly you were never forced to study structuralism, post-structuralism, deconstructionism or semiotics. Lucky you. It was as a semiologist that Barthes (b 1915 - d 1980) was best known, and in simple terms, semiotics is the study of signs, symbols and their meaning. dpreview.com »
