It is a formation eternally ripe for defamiliarization, and I cannot claim to have studied this particular aspect of it with anything approaching the care or comprehensiveness it deserves.

It is a formation eternally ripe for defamiliarization, and I cannot claim to have studied this particular aspect of it with anything approaching the care or comprehensiveness it deserves. In fact, the closer this project came to completion, the more clearly I could see the extent of its blind spots, and thus the extent of my reliance throughout on the works of those with real expertise in the intellectual history of twentieth-century France; here I would single out Francois Dosse's indispensable histories of French structuralism and of the Annales school (two works which, when read side by side, would make many of the same points belabored in what follows), Tony Judt's books on the modern French Left, and the dozen-odd intellectual biographers of the central figures studied in these five chapters. Nor can the notes reflect the influence of other scholars I have never met—particularly Margaret Cohen, Patrick Ffrench, Suzanne Guerlac, Rosalind Krauss, and Michael T. Saler—on my ways of thinking about the intricate and often surprising inner workings of modern avant-garde subcultures, both the one studied here and others. I have benefited as well from the growing genre of books scrutinizing the impact of medievalism and medieval studies on modern (mostly French) thought, in particular R. Howard Bloch and Stephen G. Nichols's Medievalism and the Modernist Temper, of which this book might be understood as a later chapter; Katherine Bergeron's Decadent Enchantments, which approaches related issues from a musicological angle; and Amy Hollywood's Sensible Ecstasy, which appeared as the manuscript was nearing completion and which I have tried to note where appropriate. I owe a special debt to the late Pierre Bourdieu, who shortly before his death granted me permission to include a translation of his postface to Erwin Panofsky's Gothic Architecture and Scholasticism as an appendix to this project. Emily Steiner encouraged me to expand what was a long and unwieldy essay into a short book. Brainstorming sessions with William Kuskin and Mark Winokur helped me to reframe some of the central questions I have tried to ask, while Jessica Rosenfeld's sharp reading of the second chapter clarified what I was trying to say about Lacan. The book has its distant point of origin in a deceptively simple question Caroline Bynum asked me more than ten years ago; I hope I have begun to answer it here. Jennifer Jahner and Kat Rutkowski furnished able research and fact-checking assistance in the final stages. Others providing helpful comments, invitations, readings, and responses included Barbara Nolan, Helen Solterer, Michelle Warren, Barbara Newman, David Wallace, Rita Copeland, Jody Enders, Catherine Sanok, Eugene Vance, Vance Smith, Michael Uebel, Andrew Cole, Kellie Robertson, Erin Labbie, Sarah Kay, Andy Stafford, John Caputo, Sarah Beckwith, David Aers, and Ann Williams-Gascon; and, at the University of Colorado, Karen Jacobs, Jeffrey DeShell, Christopher Braider, Andy Cowell, Jeff Cox, Timothy Morton, Katherine Eggert, Elizabeth Robertson, John-Michael Rivera, Joe Amato, Katherine Millersdaughter, Charlotte Sussman, Valerie Forman, Brendan O'Kelly, and John Stevenson. At the University of Chicago Press, Alan Thomas’s early interest in this project yielded a contract and several extensions, while Randy Peti-los has been a model of editorial patience and precision; both have made working with the Press an absolute joy. I have been particularly fortunate in the Press's choice of external reviewers: an anonymous reader helped me sharpen and define the project at a much earlier stage, while Amy Hollywood and Kevin Hart crucially stressed the importance of turning the book more explicitly toward the theological issues that now dominate several of the chapters. All three saved me from a number of embarrassing errors and oversights. Laurence Petit has proven an indefatigable ally throughout the course of this project: as a translator, a fact-checker, and a patient respondent to innumerable uninformed questions about French intellectual culture, university organization, and so on. She has been a collaborator in the best sense of the word, and I owe her an enormous debt of gratitude. Two budding avant-gardistes in my life, Campbell and Malcolm, have helped me maintain perspective and sort priorities at nearly every turn, and I thank them for their eternal lack of patience. The book is dedicated to Anna Brickhouse, both for lending this book her legendary skills as a reader and commentator and for sharing the gifts of her intellect, her humor, her time, and her love.
