Peggy Kamuf (born 1947) is the Marion Frances Chevalier Professor of French and Comparative Literature at the University of Southern California. She is one of the primary English translators of the works of Jacques Derrida.[1] She received the American Comparative Literature Association's 2006 René Wellek Prize for her 2005 work Book of Addresses.[2]

Professor Kamuf has also been awarded The Essential Humanities (Andrew W. Mellon Foundation) grant as well as a National Endowment for the Humanities Grant for the translation of the seminars of Jacques Derrida, working in collaboration with Geoffrey Bennington, Pascale-Anne Brault, Michael Naas, Elizabeth Rottenberg, and David Wills.

Reception

Women's writing

The Eighties saw Kamuf in a (decade-spanning) debate with Nancy K. Miller about the significance of women's writing, Kamuf arguing that proponents of gynocriticism were merely re-iterating a liberal humanism long since deconstructed by the likes of Derrida.[3]
