{"product_id":"city-of-ruins-dereck-daschke-9789004181816","title":"City of Ruins","description":"This study addresses the way in which a psychoanalytic model of mourning relates to a set of Jewish apocalypses concerned with the destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple. These texts respond to the traumatic symbolic loss of Zion and attempt to heal it through the apocalyptic narrative, the visionary experiences of the seers, and the emotional transformation that results from the interplay of the two. The seers react with rage, paralysis, and self-annihilating sentiments, and hence these texts resemble incomplete, stalled mourning, or melancholia. Through the course of their narratives and a 'working-through' of the Jewish past, true mourning and psychological recovery occur, prompting visions of the establishment of an ideal society in the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dereck Daschke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004181814\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004181816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Dereck Daschke","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47136558022911,"sku":"9789004181816","price":172.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_81f31338-ef6b-4b57-b3ea-2f859be259e9.jpg?v=1755023711","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/city-of-ruins-dereck-daschke-9789004181816","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
