From the Renaissance on, a new concept of the frame becomes crucial
to a range of artistic media, which in turn are organized around
and fascinated by this frame. 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.
