Writing the Dream / Écrire le rêve I

Workshop as part of the ICLA Congress (Paris, July 18–24, 2013)
 
Convenors:
Bernard Dieterle (Université de Haute-Alsace) /
Manfred Engel (Universitaet des Saarlandes)
 

The workshop will be devoted to all sorts of dream-narrations: in diaries, letters, dream-diaries, medical or psychological case-studies, and all kinds of literary works (dream satires, dream allegories, dream travels, dreams in narratives, novels, plays and poems). We are looking for systematic papers on the poetics of the dream (fictional or non-fictional) and for case-studies of literary or non-literary dreams. The latter should concentrate on the comparison of two or three dream-texts of different types (e.g. fictional/non fictional, different literary periods, different languages and cultures, different literary kinds).
