Acknowledgments Several chapters of this book were initially presented as lectures at various institutions or conferences, and many were subsequently published in earlier versions in different journals or collections. They all benefited enormously from the conversations that followed these lectures and the suggestions received from various editors and copyeditors. All but the Conclusion were significantly rewritten for this volume. Parts of the Introduction were presented at a special session at the Modern Language Association (MLA) in December 2005 at the invitation of Claudia Brodsky. Chapter 1 was first presented in January 2005 at the Alliance Française in Chicago at the invitation of Norah Delaney and published in SubStance 噛106, 34, no. 1 (2005): 6–17. Parts of Chapter 2 were presented at a conference organized by Tanja Stähler in June 2005 at the University of Sussex.

Chapter 8 was initially written for the conference Postmodernism at Wofford College in March 2004 at the invitation of Vivian Fisher, and it benefited greatly from my conversations there with Karen Goodchild, Stephen Michelman, and Jim Neighbors . Chapter 9 was originally written for the July 2002 conference on Derrida at Cerisy-la-Salle, organized by Marie-Louise Mallet, and was published in French as ‘‘Les restes de l’histoire: Comment faire son deuil des inconnus,’’ in La démocratie à venir: Autour du travail de Jacques Derrida Paris: Galilée, 2004), 549–65, and then rewritten in English as ‘‘History ’s Remains: Of Memory, Mourning, and the Event,’’ for Research in Phenomenology 33 (2003): 75–96.

I would also like to express my profound gratitude for the many exchanges I have had over the years with my colleagues and students at DePaul University. Most of the ideas in this work were either first conceived or first developed in conversations or seminars with them. My thanks in particular to Peg Birmingham, Rick Lee, Bill Martin, Will McNeill, David Pellauer, Peter Steeves, and, especially, Elizabeth Rottenberg. I owe a special word of thanks to Pascale-Anne Brault and David Krell, who demonstrated their generosity and friendship by reading the entirety of this work and offering many excellent suggestions.
