- Abstract
- (en) Josep Solanes (1909-1991), a Catalan psychiatrist and philosopher exiled far from his country (first in France, then in Venezuela) at the end of the Spanish Civil War, explores the phenomenon of exile for over fifty years. Mixing conceptual and autobiographical registers, he comes to defend the thesis that the exilic condition is paradigmatic of human nature – that man is defined essentially by his capacity for displacement, even uprooting. His anthropological approach of exile is also coupled with a historicised or circumstantial approach to this phenomenon: in En tierra ajena, Exilio y literatura desde la « Odisea » hasta « Molloy », Solanes develops a thinking about what he calls "the names of exile", paying particular attention to the words chosen by men in exile to describe their experience. This article proposes to highlight that the way in which Solanes places the question of language at the heart of his reflection on exile allows him to explore the idea that exile is inseparable from a phenomenon of alteration of space and time – that the exiled, both expelled from his space and temporality, must invent a new relationship to space and time through language.
