Taking the approach of cultural history, this ambitious yet accessible work aims both to describe the most salient aspects of this "dream arc" and to explain its trajectory in time through the writings, arts, and practices of well-known thinkers, religionists, litterateurs, memoirists, painters, doctors, and political figures of late Ming and early Qing times. The volume's encompassing thesis asserts that certain associations of dreaming, grounded in the neurophysiology of the human brain at sleep--such as subjectivity, irrationality, the unbidden, lack of control, emotionality, spontaneity, the imaginal, and memory--when especially heightened by historical and cultural developments, are likely to pique interest in dreaming and generate florescences of dream-expression among intellectuals. The work thus makes a contribution to the history of how people have understood human consciousness in various times and cultures. The Dreaming Mind and the End of the Ming World is the most substantial work in any language on the historicity of Chinese dream culture. Within Chinese studies, it will appeal to those with backgrounds in literature, religion, philosophy, political history, and the visual arts. It will also be welcomed by readers interested in comparative dream cultures, the history of consciousness, and neurohistory 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Dreams|zChina|xHistory. 650 0 Dream interpretation|zChina|xHistory. 650 7 BODY, MIND & SPIRIT|xDreams.|2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY|zAsia|zChina.|2bisacsh 650 7 Dream interpretation.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00897886 650 7 Dreams.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01198490 651 7 China.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01206073 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aStruve, Lynn A., 1944-|tDreaming mind and the end of the Ming world.|dHonolulu : University of Hawai'i Press, [2019]|z9780824875251|w(DLC) 2018037463 |w(OCoLC)1050454985 914 on1098213139 994 92|bCKE
