UNEXPECTED GUEST 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

　　Published on the occasion of the Liverpool Biennial 2012, this

book addresses the theme of the exhibition: notions of hospitality.

Hospitality is the welcome we extend to strangers, an attitude and

a code of conduct, as well as a metaphor that encompasses issues of

the body, territory, geopolitics, ecology, trade and the hosting of

data. In this era of unprecedented movement of both people and

knowledge, different cultures of hospitality jostle for space as

never before. Where lies the threshold between host and guest, if

there is one at all, and who has the power to decide? How does our

view of hospitality change when seen through the lens of time? The

ethics underlying these questions are shaped by traditions that

date back to the classical world and the ancient cultures of

central Asia and the Indian sub-continent. In more recent times,

philosophers from Kant to Derrida have provided influential comment

on the subject, establishing the terms of a discourse that now

spans myriad disciplines, among them anthropology, sociology,

economics, philosophy, theology, politics and art. Responding to

this growing academic and cultural interest, The Unexpected Guest

is the first publication to bring together an anthology of key

historical and contemporary texts with new contributions by writers

from a variety of fields, alongside artists responses commissioned

especially for the book. Uniquely, it introduces time as a window

onto hospitality, offering fresh perspectives and new thinking on

the issue.
