Description of Research
|
Summary Statement of Research Interests
|
|
Peggy Kamuf’s principal research interests are in literary theory and contemporary French thought and literature. She has written extensively on the work of Jacques Derrida, Hélène Cixous, and Jean-Luc Nancy, and has also translated a number of their texts. Her earlier work was on 18th-century French fictions of the feminine (Fictions of Feminine Desire: Disclosures of Heloise [1982]), the signature and authorship, especially in Rousseau, but as well Stendhal, Baudelaire, and V. Woolf (Signature Pieces: On the Institution of Authorship [1988]), and the institutionalization of literary studies, specifically in France (The Division of Literature, or the University in Deconstruction [1997]). Her most recent work, Book of Addresses (2005), gathers essays on fictionality, sexual difference, psychoanalysis, and literary theory around the figure of the address of speech and writing. She has also edited several collections of work by Jacques Derrida: A Derrida Reader: Between the Blinds (1991), Without Alibi (2002), and Psyche: Inventions of the Other (2007). In Spring 2006, she returned to teach at the Centre de Recherches en Études Féminines at the Université de Paris VIII (Vincennes-Saint Denis).
