| Sumario: | Walter Benjamin used to compare quotes with “waylayers” in the path of reading. In the present article, getting distant words out of context will set a constantly interrupted rhythm of writing, emulating the experience of hospitality among nomads. Thus, in an exercise of critical memory whose emblematic figure is the Benjaminian angel of history, we will evoke visits to the refugee camps in Western Sahara. Among Derridian figures of hospitality, authors from distant places such as the Palestinian poet Mahmud Darwish, the Argentinian writer Juan José Saer, or the French naturalist Théodore Monod, among others, will be gathered in quotes in these pages that will keep on trying to explain the impossible Angelus Novus flight. |
