New to the renowned E-Flux Journal series are writings by Jalal Toufic, a thinker, writer and artist whose influence in the Beirut artistic community over the past two decades has been immense. Of Iraqi and Palestinian descent, he writes here about the appearance of the unworldly in art, culture, history and the present. Fiercely committed to the public accessibility of knowledge, Toufic makes most of his work available as PDFs on his website so that his books continue to be forthcoming even after their publication. First published by Atelos Press in 2000, Forthcoming, with its essays on critical theory, Middle Eastern film, Qur nic Prophets, and the image culture of Christy Turlington, is an intensely thoughtful and wildly entertaining read.
