Beschreibung
Writing a factual or fictional dream is a difficult task as its “otherness” will challenge all of our accustomed modes of narration. So the existence of established cultural and textual patterns is a welcome help. This collection of essays describes these patterns, their historical and individual modifications and their relation to the dream-discourse in selected case studies and general considerations. The scope of the contributions ranges geographically from the Near East and Europe to Northern America, Africa, China and Japan and historically from Antiquity to the present, including studies on the Old Testament, the Babylonian Talmud, Dante, Tang Xianzu, La Fontaine, Cao Xu. eqin, Braker, Jean Paul, Manzoni, Heine, Keller, Freud, SP oseki, Schnitzler, McCay, Eluard, Ba, Sassine, Fantoure, Kipphardt, Bachler, Sarris, Gaiman and others. Ecrire un reve factuel ou fictionnel est une tache delicate qui met en cause nos modes de narrations traditionnels et pour laquelle le recours a des modeles culturels et textuels constitue une aide significative. Les articles reunis dans ce volume decrivent et commentent ces modeles, leurs modifications historiques et personnelles ainsi que leurs relations au discours sur le reve, et ce aussi bien sur le plan de considerations dfordre general que dfanalyses de cas.
