Series Editors Preface

This series showcases the work of new and established scholars working within the fields of French and francophone studies. It publishes introductory texts aimed at a student readership, as well as research-orientated monographs at the cutting edge of their discipline area. The series aims to highlight shifting patterns of research in French and francophone studies, to re-evaluate traditional representations of French and francophone identities and to encourage the exchange of ideas and perspectives across a wide range of discipline areas. The emphasis throughout the series will be on the ways in which French and francophone communities across the world are evolving into the twenty-first century.

Hanna Diamond and Claire Gorrara

While writing does involve many hours of solitude, the long course of producing and publishing a book has taught me just how deeply interconnected the process of creating a book is. In the notes, Ive expressed my gratitude to the many people whose scholarly work has inspired and influenced my thinking. In this space I would like to thank the many colleagues, friends and family members who have supported the book or the human behind the computer and in many cases both.

This book would not have been possible without the generous financial support of the Richard D. and Mary Jane Edwards Endowed Publication Fund, the European Union Center of Excellence, the European Studies Center, and the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh, the Universit Lumire Lyon 2 and the Rhne-Alpes Regional Government. Im very grateful to Sarah Lewis and the team at the University of Wales Press for their enthusiasm for this project and for shepherding it from proposal to published book. Many thanks also to series editors Hanna Diamond and Claire Gorrara and to the many readers, both known and anonymous, who gave me such wonderful feedback. Any remaining errors are of course my own.

I would like to thank my dissertation director Suzanne Guerlac for her support and mentorship over the years. Her belief in this project has been unwavering. I still remember our conversation about choosing a dissertation topic; she told me to pick something I could live with for at least a decade. She was right about that, as she was about so many other things. For the intellectual training that helped launch this project, Im grateful to David Carroll, Tim Hampton, David Hult, Tony Kaes, Michael Lucey, Anne Nesbet, Nicholas Paige, Debarati Sanyal, Kaja Silverman, Ann Smock and especially Carol Clover. Her seminar on film noir changed my life in ways that continue to resound down to the present some thirteen years later. Im deeply appreciative of the example she set, and I strive to do the same with my own students. Im also thankful for the wise counsel of Larry Kritzman and Nelly Furman early in my career.

Renate Blumenfeld-Kosinski, Jennifer Branlat, Elisabeth Hodges, Lina Insana, Giuseppina Mecchia and Todd Reeser all read portions of this manuscript. Im especially grateful to Maggie Flinn and Dan Morgan who read early versions of chapters multiple times and never failed to offer helpful suggestions. Thank you for seeing the things I couldnt. Id also like to thank the graduate students at the University of Pittsburgh who allowed me to try out many of the ideas from this book over the course of several seminars. Their generosity and tough questions undoubetdly sharpened this work.

Im thankful to all my colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh, including Mark Lynn Anderson, Susan Andrade, Nancy Condee, Lorraine Denman, Neil Doshi, Jane Feuer, Lucy Fischer, Jen Florian, Randall Halle, Chlo Hogg, Lisa Jackson-Schebetta, Marcia Landy, Dennis Looney, Monika Losagio, Adam Lowenstein, Josh Lund, Colin MacCabe, Neepa Majumdar, Tom McWhorter, Gayle Rogers, Francesca Savoia, Terry Smith, Jen Waldron, John Walsh and Brett Wells, for their advice, for their support, and for the ways they make me feel at home.

In addition to those mentioned above, Grace An, Dudley Andrew, Hlne Bilis, Tina Chen, Irene Chien, rlaith Creedon-Galli, Vanessa Davies, Sam Di Iorio, Chris Dumas, Scott Ferguson, Rmi Fontanel, Olivier Goldschmidt, Cathy Hannabach, Jonathan Haynes, Araceli Hernandez, Jean-Louis Jeannelle, France Lemoine, Sharon Marquart, Lowry Martin, Charlie Michael, Libby Murphy, John Paulas, Dsire Pries, Sarah Rackley Olson, Amy Rust, Laurel Simmons, Franoise Sorgen-Goldschmidt, Vinay Swamy, Kristen Templeman, Alice Tillier Chevallier and Christophe Wall-Romana were wonderful colleagues and friends along the way. I always look forward to seeing you at conferences, at working groups, at dinner parties, and in the reading rooms at the BNF.

A big thank you to my parents, Brian and Barbara, and my sisters, Holly and Tracy, for their patience, love and understanding while I was in the thick of writing. Im also very grateful to Revd Jisen Coghlan and Revd Kyoki Roberts and the communities at City Dharma and Deep Spring Temple for offering me a place to sit quietly with the many ups and downs of this process. Finally, this book would quite simply not exist without the love and support of Stacey Triplette. Thank you for the long walks, silly conversations and expert copy-editing. This book is for you.
