Abstract

PALUMBO, Cecilia Avenatti de. Hospitality as poetic of hope. Franciscanum [online]. 2017, vol.59, n.168, pp.175-196. ISSN 0120-1468.

Hospitality, poetics and hope are the axes that form the figure of the proposed title and also the three times of our reflection. First, in the footsteps of Paul Ricoeur, we will propose poetics as the hermeneutic key that will allow us to link hope with hospitality, for which we will highlight the decisive role played by the imagination in this process. Secondly, with Jean-Louis Chrétien, we will consider phenomenologically the hope in the temporary tension between the unforgettable and the expected, in order to place in a key of «space» vault the incessant of that arrival of the guest who hopes to inhabit and be inhabited. Finally, on the basis of this paradoxical spatial temporality of the incessant, we will propose hospitality as a new name for hope. Our ultimate goal is to postulate that the unconditional hospitality that Jacques Derrida deems impossible to achieve in the horizon of the merely human is made possible by theologically considering the character of open hospitality presented by the figure of Christ, proposed by Christophe Theobald as style of holiness for our postmodern time

Keywords : Hospitality; poetics; hope; hermeneutics; phenomenology.
