{"product_id":"16645-jalal-toufic","title":"Jalal Toufic","description":"In the second edition of his book (Vampires): An Uneasy Essay on the Undead in Film (2003), Jalal Toufic observes: \"For many years I dealt with schizophrenia and schizophrenics, who appeared in Credits Included: A Video in Red and Green, 1995; now I am interested in 'the little girl' who is expected to appear in my upcoming vampire film ... On one level, the 13th series in Gilles Deleuze’s Logic of Sense, 1969, 'The Schizophrenic and the Little Girl,' can retrospectively be seen as a program for ten years of my work.\" In his new essay, he writes about the image of the pubescent girl, as it also appears in Poe’s \"The Oval Portrait.\" \"A successful portrait of a young girl is not a rite of passage, but a rite of non-passage; not the passage, which (at least in historical societies) is the natural state, requires a ritual, but the non-passage, the radical difference between the before, in this case a young girl, and the after, a woman.\" From the portrait of the pubescent girl, Toufic moves to the portrait in general and its paradigmatic relationship to the angel; hence the title of this notebook: Poe's \"The Oval Portrait,\" read and rewritten through the eyes of an angel.\u003cbr\u003eMost of Jalal Toufic’s books are available as free downloadable PDF files on his website www.jalaltoufic.com.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-2860-7)","offer_id":44503954063624,"sku":"9783775728607","price":6.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ebook - PDF (978-3-7757-4985-5)","offer_id":44573666738440,"sku":"9783775749855","price":3.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebook - EPUB (978-3-7757-3040-2)","offer_id":44573666771208,"sku":"9783775730402","price":3.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775728607_cf5551db-265b-40eb-8283-fece603966dd.jpg?v=1744101861","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16645-jalal-toufic","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
