| Summary: | Mainstream notions of hospitality are being reconfigured. This article critiques the power asymmetry in the relationship between "host" and "guests" in hospitality debates. It claims that these relationships are intimately connected to historical colonial relations. Articulating a decolonial reinterpretation of the act of hospitality, it offers a sociotheological kenosis as a way of framing the relationship between a "host" and "guests," and as a response to a deeper ethical imperative that entails carving out of social spaces for another accompanied by an ethical relinquishing of colonial spaces of privilege. |
