In Prosaic Conditions, Rokem treats prose as a signifying practicethat 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\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface One: Prose Regnant: World, State and Subject in Hegel’s Lectures on Aesthetics Two: Heinrich Heine, Explorer of the Current Prosaic Condition Three: Meditated Situatedness in the Reception of Heinrich Heine Four: Theodor Herzl’s Technocratic World-Making in Prose Five: Haim Nahman Bialik’s Icy River of Prose Six: Heine and the Israeli Novel Conclusion Acknowledgements Notes Bibliography","brand":"Northwestern University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038259741015,"sku":"9780810128675","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780810128675.jpg?v=1750939687","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/prosaic-conditions-heinrich-heine-and-the-spaces-of-zionist-literature-9780810128675","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
