ABSTRACT The apparatus of the state expanded in unprecedented ways during World War I, with implications for longstanding practices and legal principles which governed the relationship between guests and staff within hotels and similar lodgings. Commercial hostelries were required, under successive Orders in Council, to register the movement of guests and supply these details to police authorities on state-mandated forms. This idea was new to the United Kingdom, where jurisprudence had upheld the right of guests to receive accommodation in anonymity. Exploring how institutions grappled with new regimes of surveillance, this article reveals how the British hotel’s relationship to the state and to guests of all nationalities changed dramatically in the course of war, with implications for the operation of the post-war hospitality sector.

外星人、主体和国家：第一次世界大战期间对英国酒店的监视

摘要 在第一次世界大战期间，国家机构以前所未有的方式扩张，这对管理酒店和类似住所内客人和员工之间关系的长期实践和法律原则产生了影响。根据市议会的连续命令，商业旅馆被要求登记客人的动向，并以国家规定的表格向警察当局提供这些详细信息。这个想法对英国来说是新的，英国的判例支持客人匿名接受住宿的权利。本文探讨了机构如何应对新的监控制度，揭示了英国酒店与国家和所有国籍客人的关系如何在战争过程中发生巨大变化，并对战后酒店业的运作产生影响。
