Discreet and Vertiginous Gestures of Repatriation

Abstract

The figure of the exile outlined below does not possess the characteristic of dissent. It is, rather, that of the one who takes up residence and refuge in the intimate feeling and search for meaning that claims the urgency to entertain himself with what is essential to consciousness. From the tearing of separation may come the pause on the edge line: it is there that, with laborious courage, the exile's thought and experience can write, again and again, the unraveling and making of those connections between education and culture from which the very idea of education as lived experience comes to life. t is possible to transform, starting from the lack of belonging, in the being-between, without escape or boastful opposition, the exile into a method of research, making it a thoughtful questioning of the formation of the self, the formation of relationships and their contexts; his passes through the ethical task assumed and returned to writing as a place, practice and possibility of courageous, if discreet, solemn, if silent repatriation.
