Jacqueline Rose's research focuses on modern subjectivity at the interface of literature, psychoanalysis, and politics, as well as on the history and culture of South Africa and of Israel-Palestine. Her most recent publications are The Question of Zion (the Princeton University 2003 Christian Gauss seminars, Princeton University Press and Melbourne University Press, 2005); On Not Being Able to Sleep – psychoanalysis in the modern world (Chatto, 2003); and the novel Albertine (Chatto, 2001) based on her reading and teaching of the writing of Marcel Proust.
Earlier publications include studies of children's fiction: The Case of Peter Pan, or, the impossibility of children's fiction (Macmillan, 1984); of Sylvia Plath: The Haunting of Sylvia Plath (Virago, 1991); of war and psychoanalysis: Why War – psychoanalysis, politics and the return to Melanie Klein (Blackwell, 1993). She writes regular reviews for The London Review of Books. Future research will extend her analysis of Zionism in relation to literature and psychoanalysis through a study of the writings of the pioneer Zionist and psychoanalyst, David Eder.
In collaboration with Professor Daniel Pick of the School of History at Birkbeck, University of London, Jacqueline Rose runs a London University-wide Graduate Forum 'Psychoanalytic Thought, History and Political Life'.
