as you may know, the topic "hospitality" in the Kantian sense of our responsibilities to visitors from other societies. For Kant, and later for Derrida, this becomes a crucial notion in thinking about the moral status of individuals who otherwise lack legal or political standing in the places they find themselves. Today it is a departure point for thinking about the elements of a cosmopolitan perspective adequate to our "globalized" world. i hope this clarifies any confusion and misconception about the topic. -ak >From: Henry Miller <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: Film-Philosophy Salon <[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Re: cosmopolitanism and hospitality >Date: Sun, 19 Aug 2007 16:15:49 +0100 > >Buster Keaton's 'Our Hospitality' (1923) is seminal here. > >On 8/19/07, David Sorfa <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > I think it would be more useful if requests like this included a >description > > of exactly why the researcher is interested in the subjects they are >asking > > for suggestions about (obviously Ali is thinking about Derrida here - >more > > info please!). > > > > As has often been pointed out, this list is not a fancy search engine. > > > > Cheers > > David > > Editor, Film-Philosophy > > > > > > On 18/8/07 03:00, "ali kashani" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > > > > dear list members, > > > could you please recommend films that deal with the following topics: > > > "cosmopolitanism" and "hospitality". > > > > * > > * > > Film-Philosophy salon > > After hitting 'reply' please always delete the text of the message you >are replying to. > > To leave, send the message: leave film-philosophy to: >[log in to unmask] > > Or visit: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/film-philosophy.html > > For help email: [log in to unmask], not the salon. > > * > > Film-Philosophy journal: http://www.film-philosophy.com > > Contact: [log in to unmask] > > ** > > > >* >* >Film-Philosophy salon >After hitting 'reply' please always delete the text of the message you are >replying to. >To leave, send the message: leave film-philosophy to: >[log in to unmask] >Or visit: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/film-philosophy.html >For help email: [log in to unmask], not the salon. >* >Film-Philosophy journal: http://www.film-philosophy.com >Contact: [log in to unmask] >** _________________________________________________________________ Now you can see trouble…before he arrives http://newlivehotmail.com/?ocid=TXT_TAGHM_migration_HM_viral_protection_0507 * * Film-Philosophy salon After hitting 'reply' please always delete the text of the message you are replying to.
