Popis: Autoimmunity and Hospitality. A Deconstruction of Body and Antibody Metaphors - Hospitality is a phenomenon, which is marked by ambiguity and complexity. It is an event that essentially characterizes our corporeal reality. It is a condition for life itself as a paradigmatic openness towards otherness; everything that exists is autoimmune, in itself it carries the germ of self-destruction. Therefore, Jacques Derrida invites us to distinguish between conditional hospitalities and unconditional hospitality. The latter is hyperbolic and not embedded in a rigid structure, which is not the case with the laws of the former. Foreign bodies still appear as the threat to our (metaphysical) systems, most evidently in medicine. But the danger does not come only from the outside. A foreign body has always already been here, as such it presents a structural condition for identity and survival.
