ABSTRACT

Inviting, receiving, asylum, lodging, go by way of the language or the address to the other. … Nevertheless, we have come to wonder whether absolute, hyperbolical, unconditional hospitality doesn’t consist in suspending language, a particular determinate language, and even the address to the other. Shouldn’t we also submit to a sort of holding back of the temptation to ask the other who he is, what [his] name is, where he comes from, etc.?
