My analysis supplements Walker's opportune moment to strike at the heart of the audience with Barthes's (1981) notion of
punctum.
Punctum provides a means of engaging in productive criticism that can contend with visual enthymemes as considerations with the potential to sway the audience and enmeshed in the realm of what is probable, striking at audience's emotions at an opportune moment.
Estan tambien los fantasmas en

The
Punctum in the select images is not because it is being shown by the photographers of two different regions rather "occurs in the field of the photographed thing" (Barthes 1981a:47) which is to say that it is the pure artifact of the photographic event--"the photographer could not photograph the partial object at the same time as the total object" (Barthes 1981a:47).
Epiphora, chronic conjunctivitis, a palpable and thickened canaliculus, and yellow discharge from the
punctum were present in all cases (Figure 1a).
In Camera Lucida (1980), Barthes coined two terms: studium and
punctum. Studium is understood as the general pleasure or interest we can find in a picture from its main theme.
He's a theorist, and he uses two terms to describe the essence and the power of a photograph: a
punctum and a studium.
In "Trauma, Memory, and the Barthesian
Punctum in Richard Matheson's Fiction," Simon Bacon borrows a concept from Roland Barthes's Camera Lucida (1981) for his interpretation of Bid Time Return, The Shrinking Man (1956), and What Dreams May Come (1978) as enacting "what might be called a traumatic
punctum that traps the main character in an eternal or 'undead' moment from which he can never escape" (211).
Heidegger's elemental truth, however, can also be interpreted as '
punctum', deriving from images dormant in Yuh's unconsciousness.
Wily
punctum : called virga and often doubled thus the bivirga , two quavers united by a slur .
The occlusion of the lacrimal
punctum preserves naturally produced tears and prolongs its desired effects (GELATT, 2007; MAGGS et al., 2013).
Ocular also provides prostaglandin analog
punctum plugs that are hydrogel-based
punctum plug depots to deliver prostaglandin analogs to treat glaucoma.
Lid laxity leading to displacement of
punctum. Previous lacrimal surgery.
Such an observation may well have appeared less pressing to him than what he was contrasting studium to--namely,
punctum, which he defined as the detail that pricks our expectations, that alerts us to the presence of two discontinuous elements in an image.
