This is the history of the relationship between mass produced visual media and religion in the United States. It is a journey from the 1780s to the present - from early evangelical tracts to teenage witches and televangelists, and from illustrated books to contemporary cinema. David Morgan explores the cultural marketplace of public representation, showing how American religionists have made special use of visual media to instruct the public, to practice devotion and ritual, and to form children and converts. Examples include: studying Jesus as an American idol Jewish kitchens and Christian Parlors Billy Sunday and Buffy the Vampire Slayer Uncle Tom’s Cabin and the anti-slavery movement. This unique perspective reveals the importance of visual media to the construction and practice of sectarian and national community in a nation of immigrants old and new, and the tensions between the assimilation and the preservation of ethnic and racial identities. As well as the contribution of visual media to the religious life of Christians and Jews, Morgan shows how images have informed the perceptions and practices of other religions in America, including New Age, Buddhist and Hindu spirituality, and Mormonism, Native American Religions and the Occult.

Download and read online ebook The Lure of the Image write by Daniel Morgan. This book was released on 2021-08-17. The Lure of the Image available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Lure of the Image shows how a close study of camera movement challenges key assumptions underlying a wide range of debates within cinema and media studies. Highlighting the shifting intersection of point of view and camera position, Daniel Morgan draws on a range of theoretical arguments and detailed analyses across cinemas to reimagine the relation between spectator and camera—and between camera and film world. With sustained accounts of how the camera moves in films by Fritz Lang, Guru Dutt, Max Ophuls, and Terrence Malick and in contemporary digital technologies, The Lure of the Image exposes the persistent fantasy that we move with the camera within the world of the film and examines the ways that filmmakers have exploited this fantasy. In so doing, Morgan provides a more flexible account of camera movement, one that enables a fuller understanding of the political and ethical stakes entailed by this key component of cinematic style.

Some of the chapter titles are Break of Dawn, At the Water's Edge, Sea Life, Wings of Nature, Private Spaces and Secret Gardens, Soul-Filling Seas, and Evening Tranquility. So what IS the lure of Longboat Key? If you asked guests or residents that question they may pause and sigh as they struggle to answer. They may stumble to explain the strong personal emotional pull of the island and attempt to put into words that beautiful, calming feeling they have each time they cross over one of the two bridges. They may talk about their love for the turquoise waters, the white wave crests, the clean air and stunning skies, the shore birds, the tropical setting, the boutique shops and fine dining...the list goes on and on "A talented photographer with a poet's eye, Mary Lou Johnson has done something rare with The Lure of Longboat Key. She's captured not just the "real" Florida, but also the magical Florida, the one we see in our dreams and carry in our hearts. Her pictures are tender, honoring fragile details of sea oat, coquina and mist. But they are also majestic, celebrating sunset explosions and cathedrals of clouds. They're so vivid you will smell the salty air, feel the hot sand between your toes, and hear gulls calling over the fizz of the incoming tide. If you've ever lived in Florida, these pictures will take you home again. If you haven't, this beautiful book is your chance." -- Kathleen O'Brien, author
