Synopsis

Die Erforschung der Traumkulturen hat in den letzten Jahren an Dynamik gewonnen. Wie steht es um das Wissen und die Poetik des Traumes in der Literatur der Vormoderne? Die vorliegenden Beitrage gehen dieser Frage nach und decken dabei einen Zeitraum ab, der von Dante bis Descartes reicht. Wahrend die Traumvision im Spatmittelalter als Mittler zwischen Diesseits und Jenseits dient, lockert sich diese Verknupfung in der Renaissancelyrik zugunsten pluraler Funktionen. Die Pforten des Traumes offnen sich zum einen fur heterotope Welten, und zum anderen ruckt der Traum selbst als Medium in den Mittelpunkt der Darstellung. Nicht zuletzt dient er als Vehikel fur politische Allegorien.

Research in dream cultures has been gaining a certain dynamic over the past years. Starting from Freud’s premises, the focus has primarily been on dream representations in modern literature. However, what about the knowledge and poetics of dreams in writings from the premodern era? The present contributions pursue this question, covering a period extending from Dante to Descartes. While dream visions serve as a mediator between earthly existence and the beyond during the late Middle Ages, this nexus slackens in Renaissance poetry as they assume multiple functions. On the one hand, the gates of dreams are opened up for heterotopic worlds; on the other, dreams become the centre of representation as a medium in its own right. Lastly, and importantly, dreams serve as a vehicle for political allegories.
