      abstract = {This book traces the intersection of dreams and power in  order to analyze the complex ways representations of dreams  and paradigms of dream interpretation reinforce and  challenge authoritarian, hierarchical structures. The book  puts forward the concept of the dreamscape as a  pre-representational space that contains anarchistic  attributes, including its instability or chaotic nature and  the lack of a stable or core selfhood and identity in its  subjects. The book situates this concept of the dreamscape  through an analysis of the Daoist notions of the  transformation of things Band hundun (chaos) and the  biblical concept of tehom (the deep). Using this conceptual  framework, this book analyzes paradigmatic moments of dream  interpretation along a spectrum from radical, anarchist  assertions of the primal dreamscape to authoritarian  dream-texts that seek to reify identity, define and  establish hierarchy, and support coercive relationships  between unequal subjects. The books key figures include  William Blake, Robert Frost, Jacob and Joseph from Genesis,  Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Jean Rhys, Franz Kafka, and the  neurobiologist J. Allan Hobson Seth Rogoff is a novelist  and a scholar of literary and cultural analysis. He is the  author of the novels First, the Raven: a Preface (2017) and  Thin Rising Vapors (2018).

D. from the  University of Amsterdams Amsterdam School for Cultural  Analysis (ASCA), The Netherlands, and is currently a  lecturer in history and English at the University of  Southern Maine, USA, and a member of the MFA faculty at  Maine College of Art.},
