Abstract: the last several years have been plague years, not only because of the appearance and persistence of COVID-19, but also because of the alarming political turn, worse in some places than others, toward authoritarianism. Here in the United States we had Donald Trump, fortunately no longer president but still a threatening political force. In Europe, most notably in Hungary and Poland, we have Viktor Orbán and Jarosław Kaczyński, to whom we must add Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey and Vladimir Putin in Russia for their increasingly authoritarian rule. Worst of all is the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine by Russia which is ravaging the country and causing enormous suffering and death. Then there is the tightening of ...

Abstract: Sigmund Freud once remarked that there are no laws that forbid one to do things that no one wants to do (1950). The prevalence of laws against incest in most cultures is testimony to the prevalence of the desire to commit incest. (The cultures that don't have such taboos against incest apparently just let people do it.) The widespread ancient laws setting down severe punishments for people who commit acts of violence against strangers who come to them as guests are evidence that people have always wanted to commit acts of violence against strangers and guests, that people have always feared foreigners and have feared taking strangers into their houses—hence the elaborate rules requiring people to take strangers ...

Abstract: I once discussed the phenomenon that it is precisely communities with adjoining territories, and related to each other in other ways as well, who are engaged in constant feuds and in ridiculing each other—like the Spaniards and Portuguese, for instance, the North and South Germans, the English and Scotch, and so on. I gave this phenomenon the name of "the narcissism of minor differences": a name which does not do much to explain it. We can now see that it is a convenient and relatively harmless satisfaction of the inclination to aggression, by means of which cohesion between the members of the community is made easier. In this respect the Jewish people, scattered everywhere, have rendered most useful services to ... Read More PubDate: 2022-05-10T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: But before being a question to be dealt with, before designating a concept, a theme, a problem, a program, the question of the foreigner is a question of the foreigner, addressed to the foreigner. As though the foreigner were first of all the one who puts the first question or the one to whom you address the first question. As though the foreigner were being-in-question, the very question of being-in-question, or being-in-question of the question. But also the one who, putting the first question, puts me in question.when aeschylus put a house with a door onstage in the first play of his Oresteia trilogy (458 BCE), he fundamentally changed the nature of Athenian drama, making it possible for characters to come and ...

Abstract: hospitality refers to the practice of welcoming and the value that makes welcoming a virtuous act. The self-evident nature of hospitality—we all have welcomed and been welcomed—should not hide the set of rules that govern its practice. Who are "we" who welcome' Whom are we welcoming' Where' For how long' For what reasons' For what purposes' In which circumstances' All these questions specify and organize the practice of hospitality according to social and political norms.This has two main implications. Firstly, the concept is both descriptive and evaluative. To qualify a person or an action as hospitable, or to claim the term "hospitality" to describe a business (as in the "hospitality industry"), is not a neutral ...

Abstract: In his well-known discussion of hospitality, Jacques Derrida distinguished between conditional and unconditional hospitality, with the first denoting a hospitality beset with limitations and questions, and the latter an absolute openness to any other who arrives (2001, 22). His considerations of the restrictions on hospitality link to Hannah Arendt's concern about the loss of rights for asylum seekers and refugees and the fundamental loss of the right to political interaction in speech and action. Arendt argues that refugees cannot properly speak or "have an opinion" as no one is interested in what they have to say ([1951] 1976, 296). In their uncertain status as "guests" of "host" countries, the conditional and ... Read More PubDate: 2022-05-10T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: hospitality, according to the collins english dictionary, is a matter of "kindness in welcoming strangers or guests" and, according to the Chambers Dictionary, one of "welcome and entertainment of guests." Such an attitude of welcome is to be found warmly encouraged, in one version or another, by most of what may be taken to be the major religions of the world—even if it has not been (and is not) always exhibited in their all-too-actual practice. Understood in this way as a bidding to kindness and welcome, the recommendation to hospitality may naturally be thought of as being one of openness to the other. A welcoming hospitality is not, however, to be confused with a readiness to adopt or to assimilate. It is ... Read More PubDate: 2022-05-10T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: whatever the problems with immanuel kant's justifications for republican federalism (a federation of nation-states), it is instructive that he grounds the universal principle of hospitality on the limited surface of the earth. Insofar as we share the surface of the earth with all others, we have a political obligation to offer them hospitality. In his essay "On Perpetual Peace," Kant eventually limits the rights of hospitality to a right of visitation ([1795] 1996). Still, the notion that our obligation to offer hospitality to everyone who crosses our threshold is based on the fact that we share one planet is provocative. Given that for Kant political obligation is also always closely tied to moral obligation, here ... Read More PubDate: 2022-05-10T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: appeals to an ethics of hospitality for asylum seekers and refugees have been a prominent feature of philosophical and political discourse since at least Jacques Derrida's 1996 speech on cosmopolitan rights for asylum seekers, refugees, and immigrants to the International Parliament of Writers in Strasbourg, later published as the essay "On Cosmopolitanism." My purpose in this essay is not to offer another plea for an ethics of hospitality, nor simply to reject it, but to explore the ambivalences, limits, and possibilities of such an ethics. In particular, I am concerned with making three claims. The first is that there is a significant disjuncture between an ethics of hospitality and a politics of hospitality ...

Abstract: in this essay on the practices of hospitality and hate, i adopt an autobiographical and intersectional perspective based on my own experience. I was born in the city of Lublin in the eastern part of Poland, and for the last 20 years I have been involved in social and artistic activism to restore the intercultural traditions of this old Eastern European city. At the same time, I have watched as far-right and neofascist tendencies presented by local right-wing politicians and nationalist and fundamentalist groups have intensified in Lublin and in Poland generally. I have observed how every prodemocratic action has been accompanied by an antidemocratic counteraction, opposing hospitality with hostility toward all ... Read More PubDate: 2022-05-10T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: "Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased" (AV, Daniel 12:4). This statement from the Bible, to be found in its Vulgate Latin version—multi pertransibunt et augebitur scientia—on the title page of Francis Bacon's Instauratio Magna (1620), recognizes what has since become a common trope for modern science. In order to gain knowledge, one has to venture out into the world, leave the familiar behind, and seek encounters, which may be welcoming or inhospitable. Since antiquity, wandering has been associated with gaining knowledge. Thus, for the infamous fourth-century exiled philosopher Diogenes the Cynic, knowledge began with a movement out; he was the first to refer to himself as kosmopolitēs ("a ...
