This thinker connects the “joys of watching” to Baudelaire’s conception of the flâneur in the essay “Melancholy Objects.” This thinker claimed that collecting certain objects allows us to “collect the world” in an essay opening “Humankind lingers unregenerately in Plato’s cave.” The “pure” and “deliberate” types of the title concept are contrasted in an essay by this thinker with epigrams from Oscar Wilde. The framing of “freaks” is discussed by this thinker in a collection contrasting the Farm Security Administration with Diane Arbus. A list including Scopitone films and Tiffany lamps appears in an essay by this thinker that outlines conditions for the title sensibility, described as “good because it’s awful.” For 10 points, name this American author of On Photography and “Notes on ‘Camp.’” ■END■
