Book synopsis

Literary theorists, psychologists, visual artists, writers, poets, filmmakers, composers, and many others have grappled with the complexities of understanding the genesis of creative imagination. This study opens up a new dialogue for exploring the process of imagining and the creation of «image-work.» By exploring the psychological, physiological, and aesthetic aspects of the «process» of imagining, a direct and revealing link is made between «image-work» and «dream-work.» This link centers on re-evaluating and rethinking Freud's «secondary revision.» While this innovative theory is applied to modern literary texts it becomes obvious that this study addresses a much larger question about the genesis of creative imagination - a question that now has other dimensions as technological possibilities shed a new light on the creation of images.
