Abstract
The theme of exile lies at the heart of many sociological, ontological, literary as well as historical works in the postmodern age. Many writers choose literature as a venue to express their feelings of exile and uprootedness that is no more discussed in the same way it used to be in the past. Because exile is closely related to feelings of attachment, this paper is devoted to the discussion of home matters in the case of exile subjects. It provides a theoretical approach about the process of identification of exile subjects who are torn between two homelands and develop new feelings of belonging.
Keywords:
exile, homeland, belonging, hostland, uprootedness
