My thesis is composed of three parts. First of all, based on the three essays of early Roland Barthes, Le message photographique, Rhetoric de l¡¦image, and Le troisieme sens, in which Barthes applies photography with semiology, I outline Barthes¡¦s early thought and delineate why Barthes turns from semiology to phenomenology. In the second part, I focus on Barthes¡¦ last work La chambre claire, and explore the notions such as ¡¥studium¡¦ and ¡¥punctum.¡¦ Thirdly, I use Sartre¡¦s early work l¡¦imagination to interpret the notion of ¡¥punctum,¡¦ in order to outline the phenomenology in La chambre claire more clearly. In sum, my thesis concerns itself with the interplay between early Barthes, Barthes in La chambre claire, and Sartre in l¡¦imagination.

The rise of Existentialism in the 20th century has engendered mixed reactions in the minds of most critical observers of the philosophical scene. Some have tended to dismiss it lightly as a passing phase, comparing it, for example, to the post-World War I cult of dadaism. They regarded it as a mere product of the times which was bound to pass away as times changed. [...]
