While dreams, sleeping nudes, and other facets of the dormant state were popular with artists of the early twentieth century (and long before), sleep experiences have given rise to an even wider range of postmodern artwork. Scanning the Hypnoglyph first assesses the modernist framework wherein the sleeping subject typically enjoys firm psychic grounding. As postmodernism begins, subjective space is fragmented, the representation of sleep reflecting the trend. Among other topics, this book demonstrates how portrayals of dormant individuals can reveal imprints of the self. Gender issues are taken up as well. “Mainstream,” heterosexual representations are considered along with depictions of gay, lesbian, and androgynous sleepers.Consciousness, literature & the arts ;Volume 46.Sleep in literatureSleep in artDreams in literatureDreams in artSleep in literature.Sleep in art.Dreams in literature.Dreams in art.809/.93353Wallace Nathaniel Owen1948-1462295MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798664103321Scanning the hypnoglyph3671235UNINA
