Nevertheless, over the course of this project, many people have provided assistance in the form of inspiration, encouragement, comment and critique, for which I am very grateful. Particular thanks are due to: Robert Bernasconi, Morgan Brigg, Judith Butler, Penelope Deutscher, Rosalyn Diprose, Susan Dodds, Ian Kerridge, Paul Komesaroff, Fiona Jenkins, MaryBeth Mader, Paolo Marrati, Ann Murphy, Paul Patton, Niamh Stephenson, Catherine Waldby, and Elizabeth Wilson. I am also grateful for the comments from participants at the Feminist Theory Workshop at Duke University in 2010, and audience members at various seminars in Australia, Canada, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. My partner, Robert Sparrow, has not only read and commented on almost all of the manuscript, but has also provided inestimable emotional support and intellectual inspiration.

Our daughter, Salena, has taught me more about the importa
