Description
Résumé:Roland Barthes's final works become increasingly interested in Buddhism. Just before his death, and after his mother's, he writes an essay on photography, Camera Lucida, which corresponds what he sees in photography with what he saw in Buddhism.

In this void is death, and it brings Barthes to the zero degree outside of literature and the verbal sign that he had always sought.
