罗兰巴特,摄影最有影响力的评论家之一,曾经描述过摄影的出现带来的麻烦。文学和摄影的研究倾向于评估摄影的文学效果,文学被视为更古老,更广泛,更成熟的文化形式,而摄影则是新的,陌生的暴发户。“摄影与文学”则从摄影的角度,反其道而行之,检视摄影与文学的相遇,提供一种新的方式,来了解摄影与文学、印刷品之间的互动。弗朗索瓦·布鲁内首先展示了摄影的发明和出版是如何被科学和文学的书面文化所塑造的。反过来,他考察了它的早期和持久的化身在书的格式,正在进行的和经常重复的发现'摄影的作家,最后,如何在二十世纪,摄影和文学被视为贸易工具,甚至合并格式。他还专注于摄影师的作品,从19世纪40年代威廉亨利福克斯塔尔博特在“自然之光”中对摄影的开创性探索,到雷蒙德·德帕尔的信件或索菲·卡尔与让·鲍德里亚和保罗·奥斯特的项目。最后,布鲁内认为,自1840年以来,摄影和文学的历史已经越来越接近,它们的融合为最近的写作提供了一种新的照片文本“流派”。提供了丰富的自传,宣言和小说的例子,以及从世纪中期到二十一世纪的各种迷人的图像,“摄影与文学”将感兴趣的人热衷于文字和图像的历史关系。
Roland Barthes, one of photography's most influential critics, once described the trouble introduced by the advent of photography. Studies of literature and photography tend to assess the literary effects of photography, with literature seen as the older, broader, more established cultural form, and photography the new, alien upstart. "Photography and Literature" instead reverses the angle of vision to examine photography's encounters with literature from the point of view of photography, providing a new way of understanding its interplay with literature and the printed page. Francois Brunet begins by showing how photography's invention and its publication were shaped by written culture, both scientific and literary. In turn he examines its early and durable incarnation in the book format, the ongoing and often repetitive discovery' of photography by writers, and, finally, how, in the twentieth century, photography and literature are seen to trade tools and even merge formats. He also focuses on writings by photographers, from William Henry Fox Talbot's groundbreaking exploration of photography in "The Pencil of Nature" of the 1840s, to Raymond Depardon's correspondence or Sophie Calle's projects with Jean Baudrillard and Paul Auster. Ultimately, Brunet argues that the histories of photography and literature since 1840 have been drawing closer together, and that their convergence has provided recent writing with a new photo-textual' genre. Offering a wealth of examples from autobiography, manifestos and fiction, and a fascinating variety of images from the mid-nineteenth century to the twenty-first, "Photography and Literature" will be of interest to anyone passionate about the historic relationship of text and image.
