Mimesis and Dreaming: An Introduction

Mageo, Jeannette Marie

Pages: 3 –31

[This book has three parts. Part I develops a mimetic theory of dreaming. This chapter presents the theory and relates it to research on mimesis and on dreams in anthropology, psychology, and neuroscience. It also overviews the book, introducing the reader to the Northwest cultural context, as...

Mimetic Strategies of Signification in Dreams

Mageo, Jeannette Marie

Pages: 33 –56

[We think mimetically in dreams, this book argues, by reproducing an original image with alterations. The original specifies the subject of thought, and the alterations represent a commentary on that subject. This chapter defines four alteration strategies through which mimetic commentaries in...

Mimesis in the Theater of Dreams

Mageo, Jeannette Marie

Pages: 57 –82

[An obvious characteristic of dreams is that they often seem a (discontinuous) series of scenes. This chapter argues that dreams represent the visual and dramatic mode of conceptualizing problems from which theater derives. In turn, theater and its stages can help us to grasp the mimetic nature...

Mimesis Makes for Ambiguity

Mageo, Jeannette Marie

Pages: 83 –111

[Perhaps the signature quality of dreams is their ambiguity. This chapter proposes that people think within dreams by re-presenting daily ambivalences as visual ambiguities. Through dream fragments from different dreamers, this chapter shows that dreams offer an ambiguity taxonomy useful for...

Mageo, Jeannette Marie

Pages: 115 –140

Nightmares, or Threat Simulation as Mimetic Commentary

Mageo, Jeannette Marie

Pages: 141 –170

[This chapter considers Threat Simulation Theory (TST). TST holds that dreams are rooted in humans’ evolutionary past: dreams rehearse threats to survival to practice recognizing and reacting to them in waking life (Revonsuo, Did Ancestral Humans Dream for their Lives? Brain and Behavioral...

Beyond Continuity and Social Simulation

Mageo, Jeannette Marie

Pages: 171 –193

[This chapter addresses the two most prominent contemporary dream theories in psychology. The Continuity Hypothesis (CH) holds that dreams are continuous with waking-life concerns. The frequency and intensity of these concerns, this theory predicts, dictates the frequency of a similar dream...

The Close Family and American Cultural Psychodynamics

Mageo, Jeannette Marie

Pages: 197 –222

[This chapter begins Part III of the book (“Mimesis and American Selves”), which considers the contemporary middle-class American psychodynamics that emerge in Part I and Part II. In specific, the chapter presents evidence for a US model that I call the “Close Family.” This model takes...

Mirror-Phase Cultural Psychology and American Specular Selves

Mageo, Jeannette Marie

Pages: 223 –250

[The critical place social mirroring holds in the Close Family model, as this chapter argues, makes what Lacan calls “the mirror phase,” an enduring feature of American cultural psychology. It also leads to the development of what I call “the specular self”—an experience of self as an image...

Dreams, Mimesis, and Consciousness

Mageo, Jeannette Marie

Pages: 251 –274

[Cultural models serve not only for life navigation but also for making a world in which we believe and to which we subscribe. They do so, the concluding chapter argues, through what re-deploying a term from Wittgenstein [([1953] 2001, Philosophical Investigations. Blackwell Publishing] I call a...
