{"product_id":"9781611683547","title":"A Poetics of Trauma: The Work of Dahlia Ravikovitch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe work of the renowned Israeli poet, translator, peace activist, and 1998 Israel Prize laureate Dahlia Ravikovitch (1936–2005) portrays the emotional structure of a traumatized and victimized female character. Ilana Szobel’s book, the first full-length study of Ravikovitch in English, offers a theoretical discussion of the poetics of trauma and the politics of victimhood, as well as a rethinking of the notions of activity and passivity, strength and weakness. Analyzing the deep structure embodied in Ravikovitch’s work, Szobel unearths the interconnectedness of Ravikovitch’s private-poetic subjectivity and Israeli national identity, and shows how her unique poetics can help readers overcome cultural biases and sympathetically engage otherness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brandeis University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031522001136,"sku":"9781611683547","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781611683547_p0.jpg?v=1763846656","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781611683547","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
