Research proposal - Emma Pegg
Dream interpretation within poetry and fiction
The 'dream' is another world, where there is no definite place, or shared experience within a common reality. A book exists along the same lines, before it is opened it is merely an object, however, when the book is opened, the act of reading opens up a limitless private world where the reader as well as the words on the page become the medium.
Fiction or poetry in essence is written through the imagination and read through the imagination, it only exists with this partnership. It is a flexible middle ground lying somewhere in between our dream state and out perceived conciousness.
My initial proposal for research is two look at two different aspects within this area . Firstly it would be interesting to take the poetic or fiction form and observe their structure and the space they inhabit within our conciousness, that is to say when we are awake . Therefore the role of the 'reader'.
Secondly, to take on the 'writer'. The journey of a poem or story stems directly from the imagination, the closest link to our dream state. I would like to initially find examples of writing which may have a narrative built around a dream theme or to find a piece of writing which is deeply rooted in the imagination, that is to say an almost abstracted narrative. I would like to take this further and observe visual work that also stems from our dream state and relate it back to writers and poets.
As the brief for research is to observe creativity within a female space, the task will be to observe how women writers/artists and readers/viewers have tackled this area. I am a bit apprehensive about falling into an area where I discuss women and their imagination, therefore taking on the gender issue, but this will be inevitabel as my research is going to be about women writers and visual artists.
The openess of the proposal has been put forward to allow me to move freely when researching and will lead me into other creative areas.
