2018-05-09 16:00 - 18:00
The Realm of Dreams: Impressions from a Journey through its Cultural and Literary Historyâ€™. After a short introduction to cultural dream-work, Professor Engel will sketch interpretations of dreams from different literatures and periods, crossing genres into art and film, â€˜starting probably in the Ancient Near East and, hopefully, landing somewhere in the presentâ€™. Professor Engel is co-director of a research committee of the International Comparative Literature Association, â€˜Dream Cultures: the Cultural and Literary History of the Dreamâ€™. The committee has a global membership that includes our colleague Ricarda Schmidt. Professor Engel is also Associate Director of the Oxford Kafka Research Centre.http://www.exeter.ac.uk/events/details/?event=7540
