Description
Hardcover: 320 pages (2023) Jacques Derrida's Hospitality, Volume I explores the complexities of responsibility and the foreigner. Delivered as a seminar series from November 1995 to June 1996, this work examines how we welcome or repress those who are different. Through readings of classical texts and modern authors such as Heidegger, Arendt, and Camus, Derrida investigates the stakes of opposition between friend and enemy, and its relation to borders, citizenship, and displaced populations. At the heart of this project is a distinction between conventional hospitality, which is always finite and conditional, and an unconditional hospitality open to the newcomer. This nuanced exploration raises fundamental questions about kinship, ethnicity, the city, the state, and the nation.
