ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This book could not have come to fruition without the assistance, generosity, and support of many colleagues, family, and friends. Thanks go first of all to Jeffrey Di Leo and the Society for Critical Exchange, whose engaging Winter Theory Institutes infused this project with new direction and excitement. I am also deeply indebted to Paul Allen Miller and fellow colleagues at the Society for Comparative Literature and the Arts (SCLA), particularly Jacob Blevins, Christian Moraru, and Brian O’Keeffe, who responded so thoughtfully to my early articulations of my ideas. Working with the SCLA has truly been a formative experience, and I am grateful for the support and good cheer of everyone involved in the organization. The Arnold L. and Lois S. Graves Awar
