Jo Noero è un architetto sudafricano. Si è fatto un nome a livello internazionale durante l¿Apartheid, lavorando per le ONG, Desmond Tutu e la Chiesa anglicana su scuole, centri comunitari, chiese e case nelle township, in particolare a Soweto. Con l¿avvento della democrazia, il lavoro di Noero si è ampliato, infine includendo la progettazione di uffici, edifici pubblici, scuole e le case di alcuni dei principali eroi dell¿anti-Aparhteid, imprenditori e personalità artistiche del Sud Africa. Noero ha completato oltre 200 edifici ed è noto soprattutto per ¿The Red Location Precinct¿. Questo è stato nominato il miglior edificio del mondo agli Icon Awards 2013 a Londra, mentre il ¿Red Location Museum¿ ha vinto il Premio Lubetkin nel 2006 per il migliore edificio al di fuori dell¿UE, così come il Dedalo Minosse President¿s Award, il RIBA International Award ed il World Leadership Award per l¿architettura pubblica. Questa pubblicazione affronta l¿intera carriera di Jo Noero, dai lavori iniziali ad oggi, e, mentre fornisce un ritratto dell¿ambiente in evoluzione del Sud Africa, offre uno spaccato sull¿etica professionale e l¿approccio disciplinare di ¿Noeroarchitects¿ alla progettazione dell¿ambiente costruito.

This book is the first full-length study of hospitality in the writings of Jacques Derrida. Hospitality is critically important in Derrida's writings, and his insights in this have been influential across a range of disciplines from geography, politics and sociology to literary studies and philosophy. It functions as a way of both thinking about relations between individuals, and analysing the (often inhospitable) reception of outsiders, such as refugees or migrants, by the community or state. Still also follows the thread of sexual difference in Derrida's writing in order to shed light on his exploration of the complex and delicate, strange yet familiar, political and ethical dilemmas of how to be those impossible things, a good host and a good guest. This book sets Derrida's work in a series of contexts including the socio-political history of France, especially in relation to Algeria, and the writing on hospitality of other key thinkers, most importantly Hlne Cixous, Luce Irigaray and Emmanuel Levinas.
