The Conditions of Hospitality
Hospitality is a multifaceted concept that has been received by, and worked into, various academic realms and disciplines, such as philosophy, politics, anthropology, aesthetics, ethics, and translation studies. The essays collected in this volume, by a wide range of international contributors, examine how, in the wake of the work of Levinas and the late Derrida, this concept has entered into and transformed the thinking of these disciplines.
Throwing the Moral Dice
From deconstruction to feminism to ecological thought, some of today’s most influential thinkers consider the challenge that contingent life poses to the broad claims of ethics. In doing so, they reshape the most debated concepts of moral philosophy
The Common Growl
An impressive collection bringing together contributions of renowned scholars on the topic of a "New Poetics of Community" that goes beyond both a romantic nostalgia for homogeneity and the myths of social engineering and rational choice.
Neorealism, Contingency, and the Linguistic Turn
Since the publication of Roman Jakobson’s famous 1956 essay “Two Aspects of Language and Two Types of Aphasic Disturbances”, we have tended to read the relationship between metaphor and metonymy as a dialectical one. The essay argues that this approach stands in need of revision, since metonymy, as a trope—and as a trope, moreover, of contingency—undermines the dialectical relationship between the syntagmatic and the paradigmatic axes. This has f…
Where are Jacques and Ernesto when you need them? Rancière and Laclau on populism, experts and contingency
The response of academic intellectuals and political elites to populism is very often characterized by a mixture between outright disgust and helpless perplexity. This cannot come as a surprise, since the one thing that left and right populism have in common is that they consider the elites their enemy. The essay argues that the choice the elites have is either to openly voice their contempt for the uneducated masses, or to help educate them. How…
Melville, Whitman, and metonymy
Melville’s enigmatic short story ‘Bartleby, the Scrivener’, has puzzled critics and readers alike ever since its publication in 1853. It has, however, recently received an even more puzzling amount of critical attention by the likes of Gilles Deleuze, Giorgio Agamben, Slavoj Žižek, and Jacques Rancière. The essay argues that the approaches of the latter have to be considered in the light of what can be termed a ‘metonymic poetics of community’. R…
The Common Growl
No longer able to read community in terms colored by a romantic nostalgia for homogeneity, closeness and sameness, or the myth of rational choice, we nevertheless face an imperative to think the common. The prominent scholars assembled here come together to articulate community while thinking seriously about the tropes, myths, narratives, metaphors, conceits, and shared cultural texts on which any such articulation depends. The result is a major …

The Conditions of Hospitality
What unites the essays assembled in this volume is not only the concept of hospitality as such, but also the recurring question about the possible location that would allow a hospitable (or, for that matter, ’hostipitable’) encounter to actually “take place.” Such a place sometimes seems to be coextensive with the very nonplace—the abyss—that separates Derrida’s unconditional and conditional hospitality, as much as it does Levinas’s Saying from t…
Ecology as Moral Stand(s)
Independent of the discursive regimes that inform the disciplines involved in the debate about the protection of our environment, the question arises upon what preexisting or yet-to-be established moral-philosophical frameworks the normative demand to preserve nature can be based. The well-known Manichean distinction between an ecocentric vs an anthropocentric ethics is partly misleading, inasmuch as even an ecocentric ethics would have to be bas…
