Dreaming the Social uses social dreaming as a tool to explore aspects of contemporary life and examine how we can reverse social fragmentation and large-scale trauma.Since the attack on New York on 9/11, the world has been balanced on the edge of potential disaster, exacerbated in recent years by global warming, the Covid pandemic and war in Ukraine. Since the first edition in 2009 these national and global events have come to dominate our lives in unforeseen ways. With this in mind, this new edition explores the potential of social dreaming to help access things we know but are unable to think, except through the complex activity of dreaming. Based on several research studies, group sessions and mass dreaming experiments, the book explores peoples' experiences of dreaming during times of change, transition and upheaval and discusses the insights that these dreams offer.Dreaming the Social will be of great interest to all professionals interested in dreams and the power of social dreaming, including psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and clinical psychologists.

Hail, humble Helpstone ... Where dawning genius never met the day, Where useless ignorance slumbers life awayUnknown nor heeded, where low genius triesAbove the vulgar and the vain to rise.--from "Helpstone""I Am": The Selected Poetry of John Clare is the first anthology of the great "peasant poet"'s remarkable verse that makes available the full range of his accomplishments. Here are the different Clares that have beguiled readers for two centuries: the tender chronicler of nature and childhood; the champion of folkways in the face of oppression; the passionate, sweet-tongued love-poet; and the lonely visionary confined, in old age and senility, to asylums.

Er ist einer der grandiosesten Naturlyriker weltweit. Einer, der genau beobachtet, sich in das, was er sieht, versenkt und eine Sprache für das Gesehene findet, ja, manchmal erfindet: John Clare (1793-1864). Seine Verse scheinen der Natur abgelauscht - "gulsh" ist für ihn das Geräusch eines fallenden Baumes, "crumping" das der Schritte in frischem Schnee. Zugleich ist er einer der ersten, der die Veränderung der Natur durch den Menschen als das wahrnimmt, was sie auch damals schon ist: eine Bedrohung.John Clares Eltern sind des Schreibens und Lesen kaum mächtig. Als Junge ist er Feldarbeiter - und wird zum Prototyp des "peasant poet", des ungebildeten Landmanns, der anrührende Dichtung schreibt. An dem Zwiespalt zwischen vergeistigter Dichterexistenz in London und ärmlicher Provinzwelt daheim wird er schließlich zerbrechen. Die letzten 27 Jahre seines Lebens verbringt John Clare - dichtend - in einer psychiatrischen Anstalt.In England gilt er längst als einer der Großen, in Deutschland dagegen ist er skandalträchtig unbekannt - von seiner Lyrik war bisher kaum etwas übersetzt. Erstmalig gibt es nun hierzulande einen ganzen Band mit Clares Gedichten,zweisprachig englisch und deutsch, ediert, übersetzt und kommentiert von Manfred Pfister.Ein Großereignis für die Poesie im deutschen Sprachraum!

Eine tiefe und andauernde Lebenskrise, die den Dichter John Clare (1793-1864) erfasste, mündete 1837 in die Einweisung in eine private Nervenheilanstalt in High Beach, Essex. Vier Jahre später gelang dem damals 48-Jährigen, der heute als bedeutendster Chronist des englischen Landlebens gilt, die Flucht aus der Anstalt und er wanderte in einem schonungslosen Viertagemarsch fast 100 Meilen zurück in sein Heimatdorf in Northamptonshire. Seine legendären Erinnerungen an diese Flucht bilden das Zentrum des vorliegenden Buchs, das, eingerahmt von den beiden bekanntesten Gedichten Clares, auch autobiografische Fragmente umfasst und damit einen der großen Naturdichter englischer Sprache porträtiert. Ausgewählt und erstmals übersetzt von Esther Kinsky, stellen die hier versammelten Texte in ihrer existenziellen Dringlichkeit und hohen Verdichtung die Entdeckung einer im Deutschen bislang unbekannten Größe der europäischen Literaturen dar.
