Voices. Voices. Listen, my heart, as only saints have listened: until the gigantic call lifted them off the ground; yet they kept on, impossibly, kneeling and didn't notice at all: so complete was their listening. Not that you could endure God's voicefar from it. But listen to the voice of the wind and the ceaseless message that forms itself out of silence. Rainer Maria Rilke, Duino Elegies

Acknowledgments
An earlier version of "Postmodernism, Allegory, and Hermeneutics in Brazil" appeared in "Modernism and Postmodernism," Annals of Scholarship 6, nos. 23 (1989). My thanks to Ruth Graham for her patience and for her permission.
I would like to thank the University of Iowa for its support. The University of Chicago provided me with a postdoctoral fellowship, which gave me time to revise and to send the manuscript off. The staff at Regenstein Library were especially helpful. Although I have been at Laurendan University but a short time, everyone here has been generous and supportive.
Writing and language are not one's own. Among other things, one hears voices, influences. Gerald Bruns initiated me into hermeneutics, transformed me from a Neo-Kantian into what might be called a Gadamerian. Knowing him has changed my life. Don Marshall has stuck by me from the beginning, even when my stupidity must have been exasperating. Don is a model scholar and an august man. Katherine Hayles has been a splendid reader, and rightly chided me for rash judgments about Derrida and about science. David Klemm, Dudley Andrew, and Huston Diehi offered friendly criticisms. Geoff Waite took my work seriously before its time.
