Abstract

In this monograph Katja Haustein discusses the influence of photography on the life-writing of Marcel Proust, Walter Benjamin, and Roland Barthes. The comparative analysis focuses chiefly on the themes of affect and the construction of selfhood through the gaze of the other in their autobiographical texts, and encompasses both their familiar works and less-studied sources.
