Art, dreams and miracles : reflections and representations

Al-Hudaid, Nada LU (2020) In World Art 10(1). p.1-5
Abstract
This special issue on Art, Dreams and Miracles presents a series of contributions, drawing primarily from a panel at the 2018 conference of the Royal Anthropological Institute in London.

This special issue on Art, Dreams and Miracles presents a series of contributions, drawing primarily from a panel at the 2018 conference of the Royal Anthropological Institute in London. Lying at the core of this issue are studies which treat the relationships between art, people and oneiric experiences (dreams and miracles, broadly, in this case). The contributions consider how dreams and miracles are manifested in various forms of art, and in certain cases the other way around, the agency of art for oneiric experiences.

The issue brings together rich and diverse interdisciplinary content, both geographically and in terms of contribution format, including research articles, but also visual essays and position essays. They investigate cultural cases and contexts from around the globe. The kind of artistic expression may vary and there is no explicit intention to define what art is or means, but to be clear, each contribution informs on the type of artistic and creative endeavour. What constitutes art is kept wide open (which abides by this journal’s tradition); and what is being investigated as ‘art’ in this issue can involve street murals, paintings, texts, photography, writing, tattooing, carving, and others.
