The Marrano Specter pursues the reciprocal influence between
Jacques Derrida and Hispanism. 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. Perhaps 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. The
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.
