The Evil Eye Is The Fascinum, It Is That Which Has The Effect Of Arresting Movement And, Literally, Of Killing Life. At The Moment The Subject Stops, Suspending His Gesture, He Is Mortified. This Anti-life, Anti-movement Function Of The Terminal Point Is The Fascinum, And It Is Precisely One Of The Dimensions In Which The Power Of The Gaze Is Exercised Directly.
