A pivotal word in these seminars is etranger. Like the Greek xenos, which figures here as well, the term covers both "stranger" and "foreigner" in English. Because it was more appropriate in most of the con­ texts, I have used "foreigner" where possible, occa­ sionally substituting "stranger" where necessary or conventional. It seemed necessary when the adjec­ tive etrange ("strange") was close by, to mark the parallel; and it seemed best to follow convention in mostly translating xenos in Greek tragedy as "stranger. " As well as meaning "the stranger" or "the for­ eigner," letranger is also equivalent to the English word "abroad." This word is so distant etymologi­ cally from either the strange or the foreign that rather than resort to "foreign parts" or some such contrivance when the overlap of person and place was in play, it seemed better simply to layout the two translations, as in the title to the first seminar. Similarly for the title of the second seminar, where

The Foreigner carries and puts the fearful ques­ tion, he sees or foresees himself, he knows he is al­ ready put into question by the paternal and reason­ able authority of the logos. The paternal authority of the logos gets ready to disarm him, to treat him as mad, and this at the very moment when his ques­ tion, the question of the Foreigner, only seems to contest in order then to remind people of what ought to be obvious even to the blind! That the Foreigner here figures, virtually, a parri­ cide son, both blind and super-seeing, seeing in the blind place of the blind person-here is something that is not foreign to a certain Oedipus we will see crossing the border in a moment. For it will be a question of the arrival of Oedipus, this will be the question, from the arrival of this blind Foreigner leaning on Antigone-who sees for him.

that by this act which you are contemplating you intend, so far as you have the power, to destroy us, the laws, and , I the whole state as well? Do you think that a state can exist and not be turned upside down, if the legal judgments which are pronounced in it have no force but are nullified and destroyed by private persons?" How shall we answer this question, Crito, and others like it? There is much that could be said, especially by a professional advocate, to protest against the invalidation of this law which enacts that judgments once ptonounced shall be binding. Shall we say, "Yes, I do intend to destroy the laws, because the state wronged me by passing an incorrect judgment at my trial?" Is this to be our answer, or what?

CRITO: Definitely, Socrates.

SOCRATES: But what if the Laws say: "Socrates, is that what was agreed between us and you, or was it to abide by whatever judgments the state made?" And if we expressed surprise at such language, they would probably say, "Never mind our language, Socrates, but answer our questions; after all, you are used to the question and answer approach. Now then, what charge are you bringing against us and the state, to be trying to destroy us? Did we not give you life in the first place? Was it not through us that your father married your mother and became your parent? Tell us, is there some­ "the other" (the guest), and moves on to examine an­ thing you find wrong with those of us laws that deal with other question.

And the same word is translated in two ways, some­ times by etranger [stranger or foreigner], sometimes by hote [host]. That is understandable, no doubt. It reminds us of or intimates the necessity of a passage, in culture, between the two meanings of the word xenos, but strictly speaking it remains hard to justifY.

protect it, to enable communication, to extend in­ formation and openness. The painful paradox stems from this coextensive ness between the democratiza­ tion of information and the scope of the police and politics: as the powers of the police and politiciza­ tion are extended, so communication, permeabil­ ity, and democratic openness extend their space and their phenomenality, their appearing in broad daylight. The blessing of visibility and daylight is also what the police and politics demand. Even the so-called secret police and politics, a particular police and a particular politics that often, and with good reason, present themselves as being the police and politics in their entirety. This was always the case, but today the accelerated deployment of particular technologies increases more rapidly than ever the scope and power of what is called private sociality, far beyond the territory of measurable-surveyable space, where it has never been possible to keep it anyway. So today, through the phone, the fax, e-mail, and the Internet, etc., this private sociality is tending to ex­ tend its antennae beyond national-state territory at language, as though the impossibility of marking out a the speed of light. Therefore the State, suddenly stable territory where thought could be established was smaller, weaker than these non-State private powers, provocative of thought itself "To offir hospitality, " he both infra- and supra-state-the classical State, or wonders, "is it necessary to start from the certain exis­ the cooperation of classical States-makes excessive tence of a dwelling, or is it rather only startingfrom the efforts to catch and monitor, contain and reappro­ dislocation of the shelterless, the homeless, that the au­ priate to itself the very thing that is escaping it as fast thenticity of hospitality can open up?
