Filmmaker David Lynch's work is viewed here as patriotic and Puritanical. This Lynch is an idealistic conservative on a reformer's mission. Lynch promotes a return to the values inherent in a mythological America, but he indulges in a voyeuristic pleasure which he simultaneously condemns. Like Jeffrey peeking through the slats of Dorothy's closet in Blue Velvet, the viewer of Lynch's work is a rationalist plagued by his dreams; intrigued and repulsed, fascinated and judgmental, he both craves and resists cultural assimilation.

Produktbeschreibung
Filmmaker David Lynch's work is viewed here as patriotic and Puritanical. This Lynch is an idealistic conservative on a reformer's mission. Lynch promotes a return to the values inherent in a mythological America, but he indulges in a voyeuristic pleasure which he simultaneously condemns. Like Jeffrey peeking through the slats of Dorothy's closet in Blue Velvet, the viewer of Lynch's work is a rationalist plagued by his dreams; intrigued and repulsed, fascinated and judgmental, he both craves and resists cultural assimilation. Works presented include all features from Eraserhead to Mulholland Drive, shorts such as The Amputee and The Grandmother, and contributions to television such as Hotel Room and, of course, Twin Peaks. This study develops an idea of Lynch's politics, analyzes his work, and explores Lynch's paradox of condemning an immoral world through disturbing images and concepts, and touches on such points as the identifiable figure of evil in his works as well as the archetypes of the nymphet, well-meaning traditionalist, and struggling ethicist. Also included are a history of moralistic criticism in American literature and a review of existing Lynch criticism within this context.
Autorenporträt
Jeff Johnson is a self-described "undercover theologian" whose unique journey bridges the worlds of faith, public policy, and social impact. With a Master of Divinity from Emory University's Candler School of Theology, Johnson's path took an unexpected turn from doctoral studies in Christian political thought, through a detour into sports marketing and media relations, to a distinguished career in nonprofit advocacy. Since 2010, Johnson has led advocacy and community engagement efforts for a major nonpartisan, nonprofit advocacy organization in Florida and held volunteer leadership positions on the boards of several statewide organizations. Johnson's influence has earned him recognition as a "Florida Icon" by Florida Trend magazine and consistent inclusion in media lists of Florida's most influential leaders. Despite his secular success, Johnson's theological passion persists. Since 2013, inspired by Pope Francis, Johnson has shared theological reflections on his blog, ReadingFrancis.com, and with his Facebook community, exploring the intersection of faith, culture, and everyday life. Abandoning Temples is Johnson's first book, drawing from years of spiritual insights and diverse professional experiences to examine modern idolatry and authentic faith. His writing has also appeared in America Magazine, where he connected pop culture with papal teachings on aging. Johnson lives in St. Petersburg, Florida, with his wife and daughter, continuing to bridge the gap between spiritual reflection and practical impact in both his professional and personal life.
