In his hands, the off-screen becomes the philosophical lynchpin of a new way of addressing modern art and the poetics of the modern image.\"—Alessia Ricciardi, Northwestern University \"Think you know what a frame is? Well, this inspired book radically unframes and reframes the notion. Frames, Eyal Peretz brilliantly shows, are a negotiation with the specters, angels, or ghosts that works of art—from Bruegel to Tarantino—carry around as their (off-)trail.\"— Peter Szendy, University of Paris Ouest Nanterre. \"Peretz reconstructs a sweeping genealogy of the frame – as that which is both in and outside – from the painted image to the theatrical stage to the cinematic screen itself. Peretz's project is an idiosyncratic endeavor in the best sense of the word, blending art theory, film theory, and philosophy, without taking shelter in the philological and historicist micropolitics of each respective discipline...\"—Sulgi Lie, \u003ci\u003eTexte zur Kunst\u003c\/i\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eThe Off-Screen\u003c\/i\u003e, within the context of the invisible dimension of the \"off,\" provides its readers with an insightful and incisive background of US cinema from Griffith to Tarantino.

The frame decontextualizes, cutting everything that is within it from the continuity of the world and creating a realm we understand as the realm of fiction. The modern theatrical stage, framed paintings, the novel, the cinematic screen—all present us with such framed-off zones. Naturally, the frame creates a separation between inside and out. But, as this book argues, what is outside the frame, what is offstage, or off screen, remains particularly mysterious. It constitutes the primary enigma of the work of art in the modern age. It is to the historical and conceptual significance of this \"off\" that this book is dedicated. By focusing on what is outside the frame of a work of art, it offers a comprehensive theory of film, a concise history of American cinema from D.W. Griffith to Quentin Tarantino, and a reflection on the place and significance of film within the arts of modernity in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThe Unframing Image\u003cbr\u003e  The Off-Screen: Shakespeare, Bruegel, Tarkovsky\u003cbr\u003e  1.
