Two feminist and post-Freudian responses, Kathy Acker’s poem “Obsession” (1992) and Anne Carson’s “The Glass Essay” (1997) most strongly extend Brontë’s dream writing in this direction. Building on the trope of a ludic Cathy ghost who refuses the containment of logic and reason, these and other adaptations offer the gift of a radical peri-hysteria. This emotional excess is most clearly seen in Kate Bush’s music video “Wuthering Heights” (1978) and Peter Kosminsky’s film \n                \n                \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/i\u003e\n                                 (1992). Such disturbances make space for a moor love that is particularly evident in Jane Urquhart’s novel \n                \n                \u003ci\u003eChanging Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e\n                                 (1989) and, to a lesser extent Sylvia Plath’s poem, “Wuthering Heights” (1961). Brontë’s \n                \n                \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/i\u003e\n                                  and its most productive afterings make space for co-affective relations between humans and other animal beings. Andrea Arnold’s film \n                \n                \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/i\u003e\n                                 (2011) and Luis Buñuel’s \n                \n                \u003ci\u003eAbismos de Pasión\u003c\/i\u003e\n                                 (1954) also highlight the rupturing split gaze of non-acting animals in their films. In all of these works depictions of intra-active and entangled responses between animals show the potential for dynamic and generative multispecies relations, where the human is one animal amongst the kin of the world.\n                \n                \u003cbr\u003e\n                                \n                \u003cbr\u003e\n                            \n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783030038762\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePosthumanist Dream Writing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9783030038762","offer_id":39472500047965,"sku":"9783030038762","price":90.94,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/a12136c9-d105-4cee-8212-2f50f6db1eac.jpg?v=1772774436","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/animal-visions-von-susan-mary-pyke","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
