The essay investigates the problematic principle of ‘hospitality’, in that this idea, unlike that of economic exchange, defines an area of contact between ‘outsiders’ which is based on social reciprocity. It is a principle, also, that despite its ambivalent and paradoxical aspects, has long since belonged not only to the sphere of ethics, but also of law. Today it has become increasingly important to re-examine the concept and practice of ‘hospitality’ (as the area where ‘others’ relate with one another), since it is especially today, with the spread of globalisation and migration across the entire planet, that the way in which ‘outsiders’ relate to each other has become a decisive factor in our communal lives in society. A factor that increasingly involves multi-ethnic societies, exposing them to a double risk that prevalent political systems, even democratic ones, are finding difficult to avoid.
Il saggio affronta la questione dell'integrazione sociale attraverso un percorso analitico articolato in due distinte sezioni. Nella prima, dedicata alla critica del concetto economico di scambio, si è cercato di evidenziare i limiti e le contraddizioni a cui si è esposto questo paradigma fondamentale della nostra modernità quando ha preteso di regolare l'intero ambito dei rapporti sociali; nella seconda, impegnata a rileggere il tema etico e giuridico dell'ospitalità, si è tentato di ripensare, in tutta la sua paradossalità, il problema dei movimenti migratori alla luce degli attuali processi di globalizzazione dei mercati.

Abstract
The essay investigates the problematic principle of ‘hospitality’, in that this idea, unlike that of economic exchange, defines an area of contact between ‘outsiders’ which is based on social reciprocity. It is a principle, also, that despite its ambivalent and paradoxical aspects, has long since belonged not only to the sphere of ethics, but also of law. Today it has become increasingly important to re-examine the concept and practice of ‘hospitality’ (as the area where ‘others’ relate with one another), since it is especially today, with the spread of globalisation and migration across the entire planet, that the way in which ‘outsiders’ relate to each other has become a decisive factor in our communal lives in society. A factor that increasingly involves multi-ethnic societies, exposing them to a double risk that prevalent political systems, even democratic ones, are finding difficult to avoid.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
