Examining the political and aesthetic power harnessed by dreams in increasingly ‘dark times’, it takes as its starting point the overlooked significance granted to the oneiric beyond Freudian psychoanalysis. By reading the oneiric within variously known cultural texts – including Holocaust fiction, world cinema, Bronx theatre, surrealist art and two collections of wartime dream transcriptions – the volume also offers a renewed perspective on modern and contemporary trauma. In so doing, it demonstrates the relevance of the oneiric, beyond the interpretative framework of psychoanalysis, as an aesthetic and political tool with which to alert us and respond to the violence of our contemporary world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword: Dreams, trauma and awakening – Max Silverman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Reclaiming the oneiric – Emily-Rose Baker and Diane Otosaka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I: Dream images\u003cbr\u003e1 Dream images, psychoanalysis and atrocity: Pierre Fédida and Georges Didi-Huberman – Nigel Saint\u003cbr\u003e2 Dreaming and collecting dreams in occupied France: Emil Szittya’s \u003ci\u003eIllustrated Collection of 82 Dreams \u003c\/i\u003e– Magdolna Gucsa\u003cbr\u003e3 Dreams and thresholds: The violence of doors that never close in Magritte, Kafka and Buñuel – Michiko Oki\u003cbr\u003e4 Condemned to oblivion: Concentrationary cinema and oneiric representation in Claire Denis’ \u003ci\u003eHigh Life \u003c\/i\u003e– Rob Hether\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart II: Dreams as sites of resistance\u003cbr\u003e5 Traumatic dreams as sites of witness and resistance in the life and work of Ingeborg Bachmann – Sharon Weiner\u003cbr\u003e6 \u003ci\u003eThe Third Reich of Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e: Resisting fascism through the oneiric unconscious – Emily-Rose Baker\u003cbr\u003e7 Living and resisting intersectional oppression through ballroom: Dreams and the dreamlike in \u003ci\u003ePose\u003c\/i\u003e (2019) – Lydia Ayame Hiraide\u003cbr\u003e8 Dreams, justice and spectrality in \u003ci\u003eRêver peut-être\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003ePerchance to Dream\u003c\/i\u003e) by Jean-Claude Grumberg – Diane Otosaka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart III: Violent states\u003cbr\u003e9 Dreams, repetition and the real in Marie NDiaye’s \u003ci\u003eLadivine \u003c\/i\u003e– Insook Webber\u003cbr\u003e10 Dreaming the unthinkable: The cinema of Yorgos Lanthimos – Christopher Kul-Want\u003cbr\u003e11 ‘My hell dream’: Moving from trauma to witness in the nightmares of \u003ci\u003eBronx Gothic \u003c\/i\u003e–Carolyn Chernoff and Kristen Shahverdian\u003cbr\u003e12 Shit, blood and sperm: The Nazi perpetrator’s hallucinations and nightmares in Jonathan Littell’s \u003ci\u003eThe Kindly Ones \u003c\/i\u003e– Helena Duffy \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfterword: Archiving the oneiric – Emily-Rose Baker and Diane Otosaka\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041022902615,"sku":"9781526158079","price":81.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526158079.jpg?v=1750948640","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/dreams-and-atrocity-the-oneiric-in-representations-of-trauma-9781526158079","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
