{"product_id":"9780226725802","title":"Proust among the Nations: From Dreyfus to the Middle East","description":"\u003cp\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eProust among the Nations\u003c\/i\u003e, she takes the development of her thought on this crisis a stage further, revealing it as a distinctly Western problem.\u003c\/p\u003e 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, \u003ci\u003eProust among the Nations\u003c\/i\u003e 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":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107241836784,"sku":"9780226725802","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780226725802_p0.jpg?v=1769911826","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780226725802","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
