We would like to acknowledge the support we have received from individuals as well as institutions. The initial impetus for this collection came from the inaugural conference of the University at Buffalo Humanities Institute, “New Futures: Humanities, Theory, Arts,” which was graciously supported by the College of Arts and Sciences. We are especially grateful to our colleague Martha Malamud, founding executive director of the Humanities Institute, for her support and inspiration. Buffalo’s new Humanities Institute has provided us with an important opportunity for interdisciplinary exchanges and collaborations, of which this book is one result. We owe a deep debt of gratitude to our friend and colleague Henry Sussman, whose vision and persistence coupled with the critical support of then Dean Uday Sukhatme are together responsible for the very existence of the Humanities Institute at Buffalo. Dean Bruce McCombe has continued this tradition of support for the humanities, providing both moral and material encouragement that has allowed the Humanities Institute to expand its activities and extend its impact both within and beyond the University at Buffalo. We thank assistant director Michele Bewley, whose tireless efforts on behalf of the Institute made our work possible. Our editor, Helen Tartar, has assisted us with her editorial wisdom and acumen. More important, her brilliant advocacy of the humanities and critical theory has created an indispensable forum for the exchange of books and ideas. The care and critical attention of our copy editor, Edward Batchelder, has made this a better book. We would also like to thank our colleague and friend Gary Nickard for providing inspiration and initial suggestions for the cover image. We thank our partners and colleagues—Barbara Bono, Ramón SotoCrespo , and Krzysztof Ziarek—for their companionship, humor, and generosity. Finally, we wish to acknowledge that most of the editorial work for this volume took place at our neighborhood teashop, Tru-Teas, viii Contents where the host Trudy Stern provided excellent tea, superb ginger scones, and warm hospitality.
