Acknowledgments
I.
I have the pleasurable and impossible task of adequately thanking all those who, in different and distinct ways, have made this book possible.
This book has been developed from my dissertation at the Graduate Institute of the Liberal Arts (ILA), a unique space for interdisciplinary inquiry and scholarship at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. I have been fortunate to have benefited from the expertise and learning of numerous people in the ILA and other departments at Emory as a graduate student and, later, as a visiting assistant professor in 2006–2007. I wish to express my profound gratitude to Allen Tullos and Cynthia Patton for their intellectual guidance, mentorship, and encouragement over the years. I am enormously grateful to Irene Browne, Deepika Bahri, and Laurie Patton for the privilege of an apprenticeship with each of them. I have gained greatly from discussions with Angelika Bammer, who has also been a strong source of guidance and encouragement.
