Hospitality is often understood as an act of welcome, yet it also raises complex questions about boundaries, authority, and belonging. Drawing on the philosophical framework of Jacques Derrida—who describes hospitality as a tension between openness to the stranger and the conditions that regulate entry—this panel invites proposals that explore how hospitality functions as a pedagogical framework for teaching reading, writing, and interpretation. Proposals may explore hospitality through literary analysis, composition pedagogy, rhetorical theory, cultural studies, or interdisciplinary approaches.

The Editorial Board of “Acta Academiae Artium Vilnensis” invites submissions of scholarly articles for the peer-reviewed thematic issue “Faces of Childhood: Representations and Experiences in Art and Society.”
