Abstract

This paper considers hospitality on imagined nights in two clubs at the end of the 1970s. The text visits New York’s Studio 54, a permissive environment but with restricted access, and le Palace in Paris, frequented by Gilles Châtelet. In le Palace the partygoers anticipate the market boom of the 80s while the hedonistic crowd at Studio 54 is unprepared for the incipient AIDS epidemic. The text asks if there were patterns of alignment in the new clubs of entitlement and illness?
