Acknowledgments

In the fall of 1993, the Poetics Institute and the Center for French Civilization at New York University took advantage of Jacques Derridas presence in New York for a conference on the present state of deconstruction in Americaas evidenced, at least in part, by the yearly event of Derridas seminar at the Poetics Institute on The Politics and the Poetics of the Secret. Special thanks are due to Thomas Bishop, the chairman of the French Department of New York University, for organizing the conference from which the contributions for this volume derive or take their departure. He, together with the Center for French Civilization and the Florence Gould Foundation, made the event possible. The French and English Departments shared the work of presenting the conference, but special recognition is due to Carol Downey for her role in managing the important details. To Peggy Kamuf goes particular gratitude for her timely translation of Derridas contribution to this volume. Thanks also go to Anthony Reynolds for his help in completing the manuscript, and to Jane B. Malmo for her dedicated editorial work.
