Peggy Kamuf (Foreword By)
Peggy Kamuf is Marion Frances Chevalier Professor of French and
Comparative Literature at the University of Southern California.
A study of both how Derridean scholarship and concepts have shaped
the world of Hispanism, and Iberian history as it marked Derrida
biographically and intellectually, through the philosopher's
abiding interest in the marrano, a figure at once historical and
theoretical, identitarian and anti-identiarian. This work by
top-notch scholars will contribute to larger debates about
disciplinarity and the university today. While the authors locate
the traditions they engage in a specifically 'hispanist' history,
they indicate how the philosophical interventions are universal and
universalizable.---Rachel Price, Princeton University
The Marrano Specter dazzles in all of its parts and as a whole.
What preoccupies that whole--deconstruction? Hispanism? both?
neither?--may turn out to be its secret subject, which makes this
collection an exemplary meditation on the nature of identity and
the limits of disciplinary thinking.---Andrew Parker, Rutgers
University
