By reading the oneiric within variously known cultural texts  including Holocaust fiction, world cinema, Bronx theatre, surrealist art and two collections of wartime dream transcriptions  the volume also offers a renewed perspective on modern and contemporary trauma. In so doing, it demonstrates the relevance of the oneiric, beyond the interpretative framework of psychoanalysis, as an aesthetic and political tool with which to alert us and respond to the violence of our contemporary world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920517906590,"sku":"ING-9781526158079","price":206.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526158079.jpg?v=1782822941","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526158079","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
