Peopled with diasporas and individuals, the space of exile persistently exists, though it cannot be circumscribed. Papers collected in the volume traverse that space in various directions, shedding some light on its manifold regions, niches, and chasms. Through raising diverse questions of ontology, subjectivity, power, otherness, domination, meaning, etc., the book aims at fulfilling its modest task of foregrounding points of orientation in the space's topography, and perhaps of tracing out paths linking its different areas.

The Editors: Wojciech H. Kalaga is Professor of Literary Theory at the University of Silesia. His recent publications include Nebulae of Discourse: Interpretation, Textuality and the Subject, and numerous papers on literary and cultural theory.

Recently, they edited several volumes of papers, including Signs of Culture: Simulacra and the Real and Memory - Remembering - Forgetting.
