| Summary |
The Marrano Specter brings together work by major scholars who collectively pursue the reciprocal influence between Jacques Derrida and Hispanism: his reception within intellectual circles in Spain and Latin America, on the one hand, and the Hispanist or marrano inflection of Derrida's philosophical writings on the other. |
| Bibliography |
Includes bibliographical references and index. |
| Summary |
The impact of Derrida's work in the U.S. and continental Europe--principally in the disciplines of philosophy, English, French, Comparative Literature, gender and queer studies and postcolonial studies--has been studied at length, but the significance of his writing for Hispanism has been, until now, overlooked. And yet Derrida developes a terminology and addresses sets of problems in ways that have a direct and distinctive effect on philosophers and literary critics in Spain and Latin America, where his work circulates widely in excellent translation. Problems and themes that resonate distinctively in one way in the European or North American context echo quite differently in Latin America and in Spain: the trace; nationalism and cosmopolitanism; spectrality and hauntology; the relation of subjectivity and truth; the university; disciplinarity; and institutionality. |
