Derrida, hospitality, gift, politicsAbstract
Derrida wittingly shows the set of paradoxes that is necessary to experiment in order to expose the politics to its limit, that is to say, to its (im)possibility. But, does the concept of hospitality-gift gives some type of hope for thinking and conceiving a different policy/politics? Does the Derridean theory open some space for freedom, from the condemnation of the sacrificial structure embedded in all identity? As it will be shown throughout this paper, an answer that makes justice to the Derridean thought can only say «yes and no» at the same time, alternating itself in the land of the possible and of the impossible.
