Selected Works:

• Prosody as Content, Ideology as Form. This research proposes a new methodology for the study of meter and rhythm in an attempt to ‘update’ prosodical theory to accommodate the needs of todays cultural studies. Relying on major works by Bakhtin, Kristeva, Meschonnic and others,the dissertation suggests alternative prosodical concepts which merge social contexts with technical forms. The study moves from a theoretical discussion to examples from works by Wordsworth, Dickinson, Ashbery (English), Apollinaire (French), Bialik, Goldberg, Shlonski (Hebrew) and others. The relations between prosody and ideology in the metrical revolutions in Hebrew prosody are closely investigated as a test case of the theoretical and methodological assumptions.
