Description

"On Ghostpitality in Derrida and Some Contemporary American Fiction"

Host/hostage, guest/ghost, stranger/foreigner, and/or friend? What/how do I call you? Who are you? The one who gives, who receives, (who sneaks in), the one who is turned away? This paper introduces the session "Derrida's hôte," which discusses Derrida’s work on the aporias and thresholds of hospitality, of houses and nations, through fiction, film, language, and philosophy.
