This is the stupidest take on hospitality I’ve ever seen. This person needs to be beaten over the head with a copy of Derrida’s “On Hospitality” until they become unconscious or learn something, whichever happens first.
That’s the Derrida book I think about the most. Unironically a great read
It has informed so much of what I do, working with food and conviviality. I come back to it every now and then, and it’s still fresh.
It is a source for one of my favorite ethical essays, too.
Have you read Levinas? Derrida’s later stuff takes a lot of inspiration from his ideas about ethics and justice
