La ferita dell’esilio. Territori e vite di frontiera nell’era della globalizzazione

Description

The territories crossed by the epochal phenomenon of contemporary globalization are many, more and more intertwined with each other until they become, or are considered, indistinguishable and yet still - and perhaps more than before - characterized by specific and important characters in an attempt to understand at least partially the dynamics that run through today's world. Among all these territories, the frontier space is considered in this book to be the decisive one for capturing the nerve centers of relations between communities and individuals in the era of globalization and, within it, in its unstable and permanent fluctuations, the figure of the exile political is the one around which the whole articulation of this research is centered. The experience of political exile is seen, followed and listened to here precisely as one of the most indicative and decisive for grasping not only the peculiar complexity of the world we live in on the historical-anthropological level but also as a key to interpreting the extraordinary contradictions, mostly and not casually veiled or even denied, which our age is deeply imbued with.
