The twentieth century witnessed the “birth” of sociological interest in sleep and dreaming, as well as renewed interest across cultural studies, history, anthropology, psychology, and computer science, to name only a few. How do concepts of sleep and dreaming change in the age of globalization? And how are sleep and dreaming  represented and reflected in literature, films or the fine arts since the Second World War? This volume integrates interdisciplinary approaches to sleep and dreams in an enriching and distinctive way, prompting readers to reflect on both past and present scholarship in this area; as well as the possible futures of sleep and dreams.
