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.
