Daniel Morgan

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.

This is the story of a little boy who explores his world using touch and sound

DISCOVERING LEADERSHIP... Never Pass Up A Good Crisis! "I have known Dan for fifteen years and observed him in tough combat; he was invariably impressive. His brother, David, has also operated in dangerous environments, leading first responders in a host of tough missions. Their experiences--and stories--are not just compelling but full of insight for every generation at every level of responsibility." --General David H. Petraeus (US Army, Ret.), former commander of US Central Command and of US and coalition forces in both Iraq and Afghanistan "In Chasing the White Rabbit, Dan and Dave remind us that leadership is about doing, not talking; about clarity, not confusion; and about focus, not chaos. They generously interweave their life experiences and insights, bringing military, commercial, and emergency responder insights and perspectives at every turn. I have known Dave for over ten years as a student, mentee, client, and friend, and at every turn he has exhibited wisdom, empathy, reliability, and compassion for everything that he undertakes--that work ethic and character comes through loud and clear in this remarkable book." --Andrew J. Sherman, senior partner, Jones Day and author of twenty-six books on business growth, governance, and entrepreneurship; adjunct professor, University of Maryland Smith School of Business and Georgetown University Law

With "Late Godard and the Possibilities of Cinema", Daniel Morgan makes a significant contribution to scholarship on Jean-Luc Godard, especially his films and videos since the late 1980s, some of the most notoriously difficult works in contemporary cinema. Through detailed analyses of extended sequences, technical innovations, and formal experiments, Morgan provides an original interpretation of a series of several internally related films - "Soigne ta droite" ("Keep Your Right Up", 1987), "Nouvelle vague" ("New Wave", 1990), and "Allemagne 90 neuf zero" ("Germany 90 Nine Zero", 1991) - and the monumental late video work, "Histoire(s) du cinema" (1988-1998). Taking up a range of topics, including the role of nature and natural beauty, the relation between history and cinema, and the interactions between film and video, the book provides a distinctive account of the cinematic and intellectual ambitions of Godard's late work. At the same time, "Late Godard and the Possibilities of Cinema" provides a new direction for the fields of film and philosophy by drawing on the idealist and romantic tradition of philosophical aesthetics, which rarely finds an articulation within film studies. In using the tradition of aesthetics to illuminate Godard's late films and videos, Morgan shows that these works transform the basic terms and categories of aesthetics in and for the cinema.
