Migration, the Question of Hospitality and the Politics of Friendship

The modern age, contrary to popular opinion, is the age of impossibility. The belated politics of identity, guided by the reawakened idealization of nations and the homeland collide with globalism guided by the neoliberal idea of rational corporate management. On the actual horizons, these two prevailing directions produce primarily an atmosphere of indifference and paradox, because the romantic consciousness is shown to be futile and premodern in the face of the logic of capital. An individual, who in his (post)modern disorientation went a step further then the twenty-first century ‘mass man, ’ because masses and massive depersonalization within ourselves is not even questionable, but is substituted by the vacuity of escapist experiences and entertainment, accepts new servile deifications. One of which is shown in the acceptance of the state as an opinion maker and an instance with a delegated role of the protection and supervision of freedom and the Other.
