34: Dreaming in Theory

Guest Editor: David Glover

Buy this issue

From Marx and Freud to Benjamin and beyond, the interrogation of dreams has often provided the impetus for new departures in cultural theory, utopian and anti-utopian alike, looking at areas from the psychoanalytical theory of daydreams to the dreams of empire that have energised the modern world-system. This issue of new formations examines some of the problems in contemporary theory, and the dilemmas inherent in attempting to arrive at new positions.
