Exile
摘要
The term “exile” has played a significant role in the study of diaspora, influencing various fields such as literature, cultural studies, and postcolonial theory. Originally, “exile” referred to the forced or voluntary displacement of individuals from their homeland due to political, social, or cultural reasons. As a form of forced migration, “exile” violently breaks personal, familial, and societal connections, resulting in the loss of cultural identity, emotional grief, and a life crisis. However, its meaning in diasporic studies has evolved to reflect different perspectives and theoretical frameworks.
