| Description: |
An examination of politics and writing in dark times. This work explores the power of writing to create and transform our political lives. It examines the role of literature in the Zionist imagination. While Israel-Palestine is the repeated focus, it also turns to post-apartheid South Africa, and to American national fantasy post-9/11. |
| Synopsis: |
This work is a compelling examination of politics and writing in dark times by the renowned psychoanalytic thinker. In "The Last Resistance", Jacqueline Rose explores the power of writing to create and transform our political lives. In particular, she examines the role of literature in the Zionist imagination; here, literature is presented as a unique form of dissidence, with the power to expose the unconscious of nations, and often proposing radical alternatives to their dominant pathways and beliefs. While Israel-Palestine is the repeated focus, "The Last Resistance" also turns to post-apartheid South Africa, to American national fantasy post-9/11, and to key moments for the understanding of Jewish culture and memory. Rose also underscores the importance of psychoanalysis, both historically in relation to the unfolding of world events, and as a tool of political understanding. Examining topics ranging from David Grossman, through W.G. Sebald, Freud, Nadine Gordimer, the concept of evil, and suicide bombers, "The Last Resistance" offers a unique way of responding to the crises of the times. |
