On the one hand, Derrida's work has engendered a robust conversation among philosophers and critics in Spain and Latin America, where his work circulates in excellent translation, and where many of the terms and problems he addresses take on a distinctive meaning: nationalism and cosmopolitanism; spectrality and hauntology; the relation of subjectivity and truth; the university; disciplinarity; institutionality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePerhaps more remarkably, the influence is in a profound sense reciprocal: across his writings, Derrida grapples with the theme of marranismo, the phenomenon of Sephardic crypto-Judaism. Derrida's marranismo is a means of taking apart traditional accounts of identity; a way for Derrida to reflect on the status of the secret; a philosophical nexus where language, nationalism, and truth-telling meet and clash in productive ways; and a way of elaborating a critique of modern biopolitics. It is much more than a simple marker of his work's Hispanic identity, but it is also, and irreducibly, that. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe essays collected in The Marrano Specter cut across the grain of traditional Hispanism, but also of the humanistic disciplines broadly conceived. Their vantage point--the theoretical, philosophically inflected critique of disciplinary practices--poses uncomfortable, often unfamiliar questions for both hispanophone studies and the broader theoretical humanities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erin Graff Zivin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0823277682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823277681\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fordham University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Erin Graff Zivin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926559162623,"sku":"9780823277681","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7529474c-b2c6-4208-913e-a53f49a95361.jpg?v=1681083743","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-marrano-specter-erin-graff-zivin-9780823277681","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
