{"product_id":"proust-among-the-nations","title":"Proust among the Nations","description":"Known for her far-reaching examinations of psychoanalysis, literature, and politics, Jacqueline Rose has in recent years turned her attention to the Israel-Palestine conflict, one of the most enduring and apparently intractable conflicts of our time. In \"Proust among the Nations\", she takes the development of her thought on this crisis a stage further, revealing it as a distinctly Western problem. In a radical rereading of the Dreyfus affair through the lens of Marcel Proust in dialogue with Freud, Rose offers a fresh and nuanced account of the rise of Jewish nationalism and the subsequent creation of Israel. Following Proust's heirs, Beckett and Genet, and a host of Middle Eastern writers, artists, and filmmakers, Rose traces the shifting dynamic of memory and identity across the crucial and ongoing cultural links between Europe and Palestine. A powerful and elegant analysis of the responsibility of writing, Proust among the Nations makes the case for literature as a unique resource for understanding political struggle and gives us new ways to think creatively about the violence in the Middle East.","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54258903253336,"sku":"9780226725789","price":49.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780226725789_54d4bd6f-0d8b-40d3-b00d-a7b4e6320bc3.jpg?v=1781694940","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/proust-among-the-nations","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
