| Abstract: | [Books, Exile and the Age of the Internet] In a historic draft of the concept of exile, starting from the semantic resonance of the word, the paper attempts to distinguish a typology of the European exile, identifying its most common locations and features. The literary representations are added to the historical data, describing some relevant aspects of the concept’s cultural history – from Antiquity to the 20th century. From ancient epics about the neo- platonic essence of exile in the world, passing through the tragedies written by the French classics, a certain thematic modulation may be seen. It foresees the acute transformation of exile on the end of the 19th and throughout the 20th century. As it is interweaved with the rise of nations and the fall of the great European empires, the exile encodes, in its code, the effects of the global political conflicts from which the two world wars of the century arise. The installation of two successive totalitarianisms, Fascism and Communism, generates two corresponding exiles in Europe, and the paper claims that their anatomy should be studied complementary, in a sort of reciprocal mirroring, according to a suggestion by John Neubauer. |
