Hospitality concerns both the conditions and the themes of Shakespearean theater. Hospitality fashions an interface between politics and life, and hence constitutes a species of biopower. Hospitality is ritualized behavior that involves implicit or explicit theological dimensions, and hence contributes to political theology. Finally, hospitality manages space, time, food, and entertainment, and hence bodies forth an art of living. In the Renaissance, plays were "entertainments" associated with the festive calendar and often performed in spaces associated with hospitality (the yards of inns and the great halls and banqueting houses of royal palaces). This essay places hospitality between the order of activity (daily routines of feeding, clothing, cleaning, and dwelling) and the world of action (significant human deeds involving intersubjective risk and the chance of the new). The social scripts of hospitality connect the physical things of drama (chairs, tables, stools, cups, napkins, torches, arrases) to the themes of drama as a narrative art (courtship, rape, and marriage; internment and murder; citizenship and naturalization) within a shared assemblage of concerns.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
