Exile and Spatiality

Exile is space running out of space, an existential draining of spatiality, or permanent elsewhereness and elsewhenness. It is a site of augmenting remoteness and a state of ontological fragmentation. The expelled body perceives itself as a spatial wound burdened with memory without memorability. Political exiling intensifies existential exile by removing the subject(s) from spaces where they could habitually world the world through inhabiting and living auratically. Exiling aims to destroy spatiality, killing the exiled politically and historically. Embodying a damaged life in front of an existential abyss, the exiled is forced to reestablish a dialectics of space and time.
