title = "Crime, abjection, transgression and the image",
abstract = "The chapter examines the relationship between the image, crime and abjection. In the latter regard, the work of Julia Kristeva is particularly important but it also needs to be seen in relation to Georges Bataille's theory of crime and the sacred. These themes are finally brought together in an analysis of Orsen Welles's film, 'A Touch of Evil'.",
