Acknowledgements
First and foremost, deepest thanks to all my students—without their dedication and hospitality none of this would be possible. They are the rock stars, I’m just the roadie.
Thanks to D. Diane Davis for her recent scholarship on Levinas and non-hermeneutic rhetoric. Although her work might not be explicitly conjured here, traces of it are evident throughout. I hope this project helps contribute to defining what form a non-hermeneutic consideration of rhetoirc might take.
Thanks to XXXXX for (1) telling me what HTML was, (2) patiently fielding infinite, panic-driven questions on CSS and Flash, and (3) teaching a stubborn luddite a few new tricks.
Thanks to XXXXX for attuning me toward the necessity of “friendly” ghosts.
Finally, thanks to my professors and colleagues at Purdue who perhaps will have come to have listened, patiently, to me prattle on about ghosts for the past-present-future (perfect) several years.
