Abstract EN

By redefining the exilic paradigm as a creative opportunity for the liberation of self and an occasion to celebrate the existential condition of being ―other,‖ this study aims not only to shift the perception of exile away from the archetype of suffering, disorientation, and displacement, but also to explore the spiritual quest of the exilic literary experience of men, who long to re-establish their creative environment and build an aesthetic shelter in a new land.

It investigates the change of social and narrative paradigms of exile through a global migration built on a personal exile, seen today as a good condition of personal literary mobility.

This paper will focus, then, on the major instances of exilic being manifested in fictional and aesthetic forms of representation of exile in literature.

Keywords: Exile Literature, Self-Alienation, Voluntary Exile, Searching

Abstract FRE

En redéfinissant le paradigme exilique comme une opportunité créativepour la libération de soi et comme une occasion de célébrer la condition existentielle d'être «autre», cette étude vise non seulement à changer la perception de l'exil loin de l'archétype de la souffrance, désorientation, et le déplacement, mais aussi explorer la quête spirituelle de l'expérience littéraire exilique des hommes qui aspirent à rétablir leur environnement créatif et construire un abri esthétique dans un nouveau pays.

Il étudie le changement de paradigmes sociaux et narratifs de l'exil à travers une migration mondiale basée sur un exil personnel voulu, considéré aujourd'hui comme un bon signe de mobilité littéraire personnelle.

Cette étude se concentrera ensuite sur les grandes instances de l'être exilique se manifestant sous des formes de fiction et esthétique reflétant la représentation de l'exil dans la littérature.
