Does hospitality begin with the unquestioning welcome
Does hospitality begin with the unquestioning
welcome, in a double effacement, the
effacement of the question and the name? Is it more
just and more loving to question or not to question?
to call by the name or without the name? to give or
to learn a name already given? Does one give hospitality
to a subject? to an identifiable subject? to a
subject identifiable by name? to a legal subject? Or
is hospitality rendered, is it given to the other before
they are identified, even before they are (posited as
or supposed to be) a subject, legal subject and subject
nameable by their family name, etc.?
