Tuesday Brown Bag Lecture - 'Thinking about Hospitality, with Derrida, Kant, and the Balqa Bedouin' Date: 9/25/2007; 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM Location: 202 S. Thayer, Room 2022 Host Department: Institute for the Humanities Andrew Shryock, Anthropology, University of Michigan Featuring our Fellows Detailed Information Jacques Derrida sounds like a Bedouin when he discusses hospitality. Bedouin sound like Derrida. Immanuel Kant sounds like neither, although he was discussing hospitality (and Bedouin) two hundred years before Derrida embraced the topic. Why are Bedouin, Derrida, and Kant talking about hospitality in ways that prompt comparison, and what might such comparison tell us about political philosophy and its unfinished business? Andrew Shryock (Anthropology) was Charles P. Brauer Faculty Fellow in the Institute for the Humanities last year. Free and open to the public.
