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
I have, based on what Derrida referenced on his writings on hospitality and his Adieu to Emmanuel Levinas, but I haven’t gone in detail on it.
If you’re interested in seeing a food-related take to ethics as hospitality, I really recommend the essay “Ethics is Hospitality” by Raymond Boisvert and Lisa Heldke, too.
