The idea that Francophone studies are made rather than found is beginning to take hold of our imagination in academe. The model has moved from a single type of interpretation (Francophone world as opposed to France) to a multileveled operational system (Francophone distinctions, and differences within national discourses) first and foremost obsessed with finding ways to legitimate its own authority. The case of Francophone literature from the Maghreb demonstrates that the considerable historical, social, or linguistic significance of what France was, and to a certain degree still is, can be displaced. However, the lasting use of French in Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia should not be underestimated and shows as well that literature from these nations gives an unimpeachable credential to all expressions of power. In a context in which North African peoples are struggling to win a measure of democratic rule and to gain economic independence, the continuous presence of the colonial language has created new cultural forms within each society. This is a paradox that most clearly stands out in the field of literature. Francophone Maghrebi literature elevates language to the place in culture traditionally held by political discourse, religion, and a sense of identity relevant to both society and the individual. While Arabic (unlike Berber languages) benefits from a high degree of official representation, French allows tactical transgressions in the name of the mother tongue. For instance, the treatment of identity by Algerian or Moroccan Francophone authors is less indicative of a given colonial condition than is that of Francophone Caribbean writers. Yet those Maghrebi novelists strive for self-assertion sometimes at the cost of exile because of their cultural desecration and political subversion. Writing in French can also be an emancipatory experiment putting the individual at the

Naomi Schor, our close friend and colleague for whom we grieve in this collection of essays that Christopher Miller and Farid Laroussi have assembled, has shown us that the beauty and force of literature are felt when it is treated in all of its detail. Her studies capture things minuscule that she makes scintillate as she arrives at conclusions of universal proportion. Focusing on Zola, Sand, Balzac, or Chateaubriand, she locates crucial points where language and image or where speech and things conflate, explode, and radiate luminous energies. Her work has been-and will continue to be-a model of reading that we can strive to follow. In her teaching, too, Naomi seized upon turns of expression where meaning suddenly becomes strange, where it opens onto new spaces, and wherever, in the very least, it invites close and extensive scrutiny. For all of us she has been a champion of the alienating powers of literature. She has shown us that her literary heroes and heroines of nineteenth-century France were forever transfiguring their verbal matter into things seen, into choses vues that had often been overlooked by champions of literary positivism. Conversely, in her studies of art and artists-on the walls of her imaginary museum hung paintings by Delacroix, Gericault, and Millet, and on the floors stood the sculptures of Duane Hanson adjacent to those of Rodin-her modern masters encrusted their pigment, stone, or acrylics with verbal matter. Shards of language turned these things into objets lus, into forms where writing and images turned back and forth into one and the other. She continually turned words into elegant shapes that were other than what they
