{"product_id":"prosaic-conditions-naama-rokem-9780810128675","title":"Prosaic Conditions: Heinrich Heine and the Spaces of Zionist Literature","description":"In her penetrating new study, Na'ama Rokem observes that prose writing--more than poetry, drama, or other genres--came to signify a historic rift that resulted in loss and disenchantment. In \u003ci\u003eProsaic Conditions, \u003c\/i\u003e Rokem treats prose as a signifying practice--that is, a practice that creates meaning. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, prose emerges in competition with other existing practices, specifically, the practice of performance. Using Zionist literature as a test case, Rokem examines the ways in which Zionist authors put prose to use, both as a concept and as a literary mode. Writing prose enables these authors to grapple with historical, political, and spatial transformations and to understand the interrelatedness of all of these changes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Na'ama Rokem\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810128675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810128675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.06w x 0.52d","brand":"Na'ama Rokem","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45180142125311,"sku":"9780810128675","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2bb27a41-5a4e-418a-ac57-df234ba018c4.jpg?v=1712897586","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/prosaic-conditions-naama-rokem-9780810128675","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
