My First Dictionary: Today’s word is only
reminded me of hemingway’s six word story.
(via dandelion-wine)
“In 1865, young Lewis Payne tried to assassinate Secretary of State W.H. Seward. Alexander Gardner photographed him in his cell, where he was waiting to be hanged. The photograph is handsome, as is the boy: that is the studium. But the punctum is: he is going to die. I read at the same time: This will be and this has been; I observe with horror an anterior future of which death is the stake. By giving me the absolute past of the pose…the photograph tells me death in the future…”
-Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida
Studium - the obviousness of the photograph, the subject, the “quality” of it. Recognizing it as a “good” photograph.
Punctum - The feeling in your gut when you look at certain photographs. That thing you are unable to explain. By nature the punctum is inexplicable, wordless. “He is dead, and he is going to die.”
And if someone leaves you
Imagine yourself moving
like water beneath
an oil slick where
the current blurs, leaving
all eclipsed. Finish
your prayers for
death: yours, or theirs,
then portage though
time to shoulder
tomorrow; re-emerge
carried - skiff of a self -
rehearsing, stroke by
stroke: this is how to float.-Laurie Klein

Queer as in fuck you.
