Per una visibilità incondizionata. Ospitalità, città e moschee

In the collection of writings on hospitality, Jacques Derrida regards the figure of the stranger as one of "the one who asks the first question," and "she is addressing the first question": breaking into a reality that calls into question between us. From this suggestion can be gauged to decipher the hypothesis in question that migration flows (in particular of Islamic worship) pose to Western cities, a specific request for acceptance that counts as a possible overcoming of tolerance. A question about a possible "manufacture" of new legal space, which can be guided by the understanding of language invoked by Anne Dufourmantelle (Derrida, Defourmantelle, 2000, p. 23), when he recalls that, in Hebrew, the future, or rather the "make time" is equivalent to "invite". Words that refer to the production of the time, the future in space, as bargain of two or more subjects, and where is the contribution of the other to produce a profound change, due to '' I am the host that appears and that traumatizes "(ibid.). In this sense, the future of Western cities can be thought of as the meeting between different spatial orders, even from the historical externality / strangeness of the places of Muslim worship at the orthogonal grid, more familiar to western cities and, in particular, to those of the Roman system (see Fusaro, 1984).
