Stories We Tell Ourselves "Dream Life" and "Seeing Things"【電子書籍】[ Michelle Herman ]

Stories We Tell Ourselves Stories We Tell Ourselves Stories We Tell Ourselves

<p>The two thought-provoking, extended essays that make up <em>Stories We Tell Ourselves</em> draw from the author’s richly diverse experiences and history, taking the reader on a deeply pleasurable walk to several unexpectedly profound destinations. A steady accumulation of fascinating science, psychoanalytic theory, and cultural historyーranging as far and wide as neuro-ophthalmology, ancient dream interpretation, and the essential differences between Jung and Freudーis smoothly intermixed with vivid anecdotes, entertaining digressions, and a disarming willingness to risk everything in the course of a revealing personal narrative.</p> <p>“Dream Life” plumbs the depth of dreamsーconceptually, biologically, and as the nursery of our most meaningful metaphorsーas it considers dreams and dreaming every whichway: from the haruspicy of the Roman Empire to contemporary sleep and dream science, from the way birds dream to the way babies do, from our longing to tell them to the reasons we wish other people wouldn’t.</p> <p>“Seeing Things” recounts a journey of mother and daughterーa Holmes-and-Watson pair intrepidly working their way through the mysteries of a disorder known as Alice in Wonderland Syndromeーeven as it restlessly detours into the world beyond the looking glass of the unconscious itself. In essays that constantly offer layers of surprises and ever-deeper insights, the author turns a powerful lens on the relationships that make up a family, on expertise and unsatisfying diagnoses, on science and art and the pleasures of contemplation and inquiryーand on our fears, regrets, hopes, and (of course) dreams.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
