Nathaniel Wallace's Scanning the Hypnoglyph chronicles a
contemporary genre that exploits sleep's evocative dimensions.
While dreams, sleeping nudes, and other facets of the dormant state
were popular with artists of the early twentieth century (and long
before), sleep experiences have given rise to an even wider range
of postmodern artwork. Scanning the Hypnoglyph first assesses the
modernist framework wherein the sleeping subject typically enjoys
firm psychic grounding. As postmodernism begins, subjective space
is fragmented, the representation of sleep reflecting the trend.
Among other topics, this book demonstrates how portrayals of
dormant individuals can reveal imprints of the self. Gender issues
are taken up as well. "Mainstream," heterosexual representations
are considered along with depictions of gay, lesbian, and
androgynous sleepers.
