This article addresses the hospitality of difference and of desire (rather than meeting needs), in Luce Irigaray’s Sharing the World (2008). While some traditions of hospitality assume a degree of sameness between guest and host at the outset, or as a goal, Irigaray typically insists on real qualitative difference.
