At the Edges of Sleep considers sleep in film and moving image art as both a subject matter to explore onscreen and a state to induce in the audience. Far from negating action or meaning, sleep extends into new territories as it designates ways of existing in the world, in relation to people, places, and the past. Defined positively, sleep also expands our understanding of reception beyond the binary of concentration and distraction. These possibilities converge in the work of Thai filmmaker and artist Apichatpong Weerasethakul, who has explored the subject of sleep systematically throughout his career. In examining Apichatpong?s work, Jean Ma brings together an array of interlocutors?from Freud to Proust, George Méliès to Tsai Ming-liang, Weegee to Warhol?to rethink moving images through the lens of sleep. Ma exposes an affinity between cinema, spectatorship, and sleep that dates to the earliest years of filmmaking, and sheds light upon the shifting cultural valences of sleep in the present moment. 606 $aArt and motion pictures 606 $aDreams in motion pictures 606 $aMotion picture audiences 606 $aSleep$xPsychological aspects 606 $aPERFORMING ARTS / Film & Video / History & Criticism$2bisacsh 610 $asleep; film; dreams in motion pictures; art 615 0$aArt and motion pictures. 615 0$aDreams in motion pictures. 615 0$aMotion picture audiences. 615 0$aSleep$xPsychological aspects. 615 7$aPERFORMING ARTS / Film & Video / History & Criticism. 676 $a791.43/653 700 $aMa$b Jean$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01184943 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910591162103321 996 $aAt the Edges of Sleep$92966761 997 $aUNINA
