- Abstract
- (en) Between 1980 and 1981, in the golden age of film and preceding the disruption of digital photography, two books were published in France questioning the nature of photography: Roland Barthes’ La Chambre claire (1980) and Hervé Guibert’s L’Image fantôme (1981). While different in style and reach, both books share a fragmentary structure and a confessional perspective, each addressing ideas around the sociological and epistemological status of photography. There is, nonetheless, a difference in their perspectives, as Barthes is spectator and Guibert operator, changing their comprehension of photography. Following Vilém Flusser’s definition of ‘gesture’ and Guillemette Bolens’ method of kinesthetic hypertextual analysis, this paper examines the photographic gestures of both Barthes and Guibert, establishing their significant differences, and, focusing finally in Guibert’s, propones them as auto-fictional gestures of his writing.
