Abstract
Social scientists usually deal with the topic of exile on the premise that its roots are inevitably political-ideological, ignoring all other experiences of migration as irrelevant.
It is my main contention that exile needn’t be labeled from this perspective, but that it is informed by a feeling of uprooting which, depending on external structures, causes a trauma in the subject, yet one which can be worked through (in Freud’s sense of the term), becoming a fact of existence, a fact which re-signifies his past, determines his
present and conditions his future.
The causes of departure needn’t, therefore, be political, but may have different roots, often interconnected: economical, political, psychological, emotional. This definition allows me to work with different kinds of experiences without coming up against the obstacle of some delimiting criterion. At the same time, it brackets from its analysis those cases in which the subject leaves without momentary anxiety or re-signifies his feelings with the passage of time, turning the voyage into something else: a trip, and not an exile, however dramatic or distressing the change may have been at some moment.
In this investigation I work with the analytical category of exile as it presents itself in the polish writer Witold Gombrowicz, who lived in Argentine between 1939 and 1963. I think that the analysis of his experiences (allows for a theoretical work that can make an enriching contribution, approached from a different parallax, to the existing bibliography dedicated to this theme.
