Applying it to new ways of creating social bounds questions the mere definition of the concept, particularly in its relationship with otherness. We suggest using the “passing through” sociability in order to better understand the tensions between likeness and otherness at the core of social relationships between strangers. Specifically, this paper aims to illustrate moments of intercultural openness between members of a hospitality exchange network.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="fr"><p>La sociabilité est un concept central dans la discipline sociologique. Son application aux nouvelles manières de constituer des liens sociaux interroge la définition même du concept, particulièrement dans son rapport à l’altérité. En suggérant l’idée de la sociabilité dite « du passage », nous proposons de mieux comprendre les tensions entre ressemblance et altérité au cœur des relations sociales entre inconnus. Précisément, cet article vise à mettre en avant des illustrations de moments d’ouverture interculturelle dans les relations entre membres d’un réseau d’échange d’hospitalité.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group kwd-group-type="author" xml:lang="fr"><kwd>cultures</kwd><kwd>online networks</kwd><kwd>tourism</kwd><kwd>Couchsurfing</kwd><kwd>sociology</kwd><kwd>Sociability</kwd><kwd>otherness</kwd><kwd>sociabilité</kwd><kwd>altérité</kwd><kwd>cultures</kwd><kwd>réseaux en ligne</kwd><kwd>tourisme</kwd><kwd>Couchsurfing</kwd><kwd>sociologie</kwd><kwd>[SHS]Humanities and Social Sciences</kwd></kwd-group><permissions><copyright-year>2020</copyright-year><copyright-holder>The Author(s)</copyright-holder><license license-type="open-access" xlink:href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0"/></permissions><counts><page-count count="22"/></counts></article-meta></front><body/></article>
