Musée national de l’histoire de l’immigration - Persona grata: the human concept of hospitality for immigrants and refugees

ABSTRACT This paper reflects the crisis of hospitality on the global scene through the exhibition Persona grata at the National Museum of the History of Immigration in Paris. The challenge in this research is to contribute to establish an interdisciplinary debate on hospitality in the light of French thinkers like Derrida, Gotman, Boudou, Brugère and Le Blanc. The methodological element used in this research was direct observation and photographic recording. The presentation of the museum proposal for the Persona Grata exhibition highlights criticisms of modern hospitality. The link between hospitality and immigration, inserted in the permanent and temporary exhibitions of the National Museum of the History of Immigration, served to reflect on the practices of those included and excluded of the immigrants and refugees from the social process.

摘要 本研究以巴黎国家移民历史博物馆举办的《Persona grata（贵客）》展览为切入点，展现了全球场域内的待客伦理危机。本研究的核心挑战在于，依托德里达（Derrida）、戈特曼（Gotman）、布杜（Boudou）、布鲁热雷（Brugère）与勒布朗（Le Blanc）等法国思想家的理论，推动关于待客伦理的跨学科讨论。本研究采用的研究方法为直接观察与摄影记录。巴黎国家移民历史博物馆为《Persona grata（贵客）》展览提出的展陈方案，凸显了对现代待客伦理的批判。该馆常设展览与临时展览中纳入的待客与移民关联议题，旨在反思社会进程中移民与难民所经历的被接纳与被排斥的实践逻辑。
