| Sommario/riassunto: | In The Hostess, Tracy McNulty asks, What are the implications for personhood of sharing a person-a wife or daughter-as an act of hospitality? Combining critical readings of the Bible and Pierre Klossowski's trilogy The Laws of Hospitality, the writings of Kant and Nietzsche, and the work of Freud and Lacan, she contends hospitality involves the boundary between the proper and the improper. |
