A major reexamination of the legacy of Sigmund Freud. Rethinking the importance of Sigmund Freud’s landmark book The Interpretation of Dreams a century after its publication in 1900, this work brings together psychoanalysts, philosophers, cultural theorists, film and visual theorists, and literary critics from several continents in a compilation of the best clinical and theoretical work being done in psychoanalysis today. It is unique in convening both theory and practice in productive dialogue, reflecting on the encounter between psychoanalysis and the tradition of hermeneutics. Collectively the essays argue that Freud’s legacy has shaped the way we think about not only psychology and the nature of the self but also our understanding of politics, culture, and even thought itself. “The book has a wide-ranging breadth, conversant in the humanities, even poetry. The Dreams of Interpretation is a collection of fine erudite essays springing from The Interpretation — or should we say Interpenetration — of Dreams.” —Leonardo Reviews Contributors: Willy Apollon, Karyn Ball, Raymond Bellour, Patricia Gherovici, Judith Feher-Gurewich, Jonathan Kahana, A.
