En lyckad social tillställning är beroende av gästernas humör. Värden har vissa verktyg hen kan ta till hjälp för att behålla en god atmosfär. I följande uppsats diskuterades möjligheterna alkoholen ger i jakten på ett framgångsrikt värdskap. Syftet med studien är att belysa alkohol som socialt verktyg vid mötet mellan värd och gäst med avseende att skapa ett lyckat värdskap. Uppsatsen är en litteraturstudie som har använt sig av fem vetenskapliga artiklar för besvara syftet. Resultatet som artiklarna visade var att alkohol i måttliga mängder gör människor mer sociala och avslappnade. Det framgick också att värdens uppgift är att uppfylla sina gästers önskemål och på så sätt värna om processen som utgör ett gott värdskap. Som en återbetalning för att du har blivit inbjuden har du som gäst en social skyldighet att bidra till gemenskapen. I Sverige har vår kultur och vetskapen om att alkohol är en normupplösare påverkat våra dryckesvanor. Svenskar är i många fall blyga och reserverade. Alkoholen har använts som ett verktyg för att lösa upp de sociala svårigheter som kan uppstå. Värden är oftast fullt medveten om det sistnämnda men den moraliska aspekten läggs åt sidan och fokusen ligger på att tillfredsställa gästen samt att upprätthålla god stämning. / B-uppsatser

La problématique de l’identité, au détour de celle du déplacement par les questions d’entre-deux, d’immigration et d’exil, et celle réactualisée de l’hospitalité, sont d’une brulante actualité au plan social, culturel, politique, mais aussi au plan individuel. Dans l’oscillation complexe entre assimilation et différenciation au coeur du phénomène identitaire, tout sujet pose aussi la question de ses limites et de sa place par rapport à autrui. L’oeuvre romanesque d’Abdourahman Waberi interroge entre questionnements et réponses diversement manifestées dans ces phénomènes contemporains, cet ensemble de faits par ses structures et procédures narratives. Sa liberté d’écriture qui subit de façon involontaire la contrainte qui anime la volonté du geste d’écrire de l’écrivain à son insu, vient envisager cette oeuvre comme le lieu d’une « identité profonde », réponse possible à la quête de soi dans l’entre-deux, l’espace du texte se faisant espace d’une « autohospitalité » de soi du sujet écrivant face à la détresse et à la perte. Dans notre recherche, où s’entrecroisent approches littéraire et psychanalytique, cette « autohospitalité » est un objet d’étude privilégié pour interroger la relation d’un écart constitutif à soi-même et à l’autre dans la saisie d’une « identité profonde ». Ainsi, le roman waberien, non seulement permet de considérer le champ littéraire dans sa capacité à porter les problématiques contemporaines évoquées ci-dessus, mais aussi ouvre à la possibilité de la matérialisation d’un espace, d’un lieu pour inscrire l’hospitalité de l’écrivain par lui-même comme moyen de survivre à la déchirure identitaire et à la contrainte de l’effacement, pour lutter contre la destructivité et la perte de soi dans l’exil. / The issue of identity, with a digression by the issue of displacement caught in between immigration and exile and that of an updated hospitality, is a hot topic on the social, cultural, political, but also individual level. In the complex oscillation between assimilation and differentiation at the heart of nationalist ideas of identity, every subject also raises the question of its limits and its place in relation to those around us. Abdourahman Waberi's novelistic work questions by asking and answering in a multitude of variations of these contemporary phenomena this set of facts by its narrative structures and procedures. His freedom of writing that is involuntarily subject to the constraint that drives the writer’s will to write unbeknownst to himself, comes to consider this work as having a "deep identity", a possible answer to the quest for self, the space occupied by the text becoming a space of self-hospitality of the subject writing faced with distress and loss. During our research, in which literary and psychoanalytic approaches intertwine, this "auto hospitality" is a privileged object of study to question the relationship between a constitutive gap between oneself and another while seeking a " profound identity ". The Waberian novel, thereby, not only allows us to consider the literary field in its capacity to focus on the above-mentioned contemporary problems, but also opens the possibility of materializing a space, a place, where the hospitality of the writer in himself can be registered as a means of surviving the identity crisis and the constraint of obliteration, to fight against destructiveness and loss of self in exile.
