THE DREAMERS, 2017
Writing, Walking, Dreaming...
Walking (literally and figuratively, one might say sleep-walking) is explored herein. Walking and dreaming provide ways of knowing a place. They lead to encounters with strangers and with ourselves. The city is the stage for auto-biographical encounters: where houses and memories meet, where the uncanny is both home and away; where the stranger leads us down the rabbit hole. There are drifts through Jacques Lacan’s Seminar on ‘The Purloined Letter’, and Walter Benjamin’s ‘A Berlin Chronicle’; urban nightmares; the homesick child, enigmatic staircases; snapshots of the past and lost objects; reflections on writing; seeing words as images; and prophetic dreams. Amsterdam slips into a New York bar; and a dystopian group recounts its anxieties.
Contributors: Essays by Rebecca Jagoe, Sharon Kivland, and John McDowell. Works by Ameena Anjum, Ameear Al-Ajh, Andrea Berry, Emma Bolland, Luke Chapman, Helen Clarke, Louis Finney, Debbie Michaels, Rachel Smith, Rachel Taylor, Lunzhao Wu
