This book brings together essays by an international group of scholars and artists, focusing on live performance inspired by living in exile, or created by exiled artists. Bringing together a range of perspectives to examine the full impact of political, socio-economic or psychological experiences of exile, Performing Exile: Foreign Bodies presents an inclusive mix of established and emerging voices from varied cultural and geographic affiliations. Chapters blend close critical analysis and autoethnography to document and interrogate performances and the political, religious, economic and cultural contexts that inform them. With a foreword by Yana Meerzon, and featuring essays on artists of Mexican, Korean-American, Lebanese-Quebecois, Spanish, Azerbaijani and Canadian Aboriginal origin, to name a few, Performing Exile is truly diverse.

L’aventure politique détermine le sens de l’écriture chez Verlaine : sa manière. Contre la tradition qui a cultivé l’image affadissante d’un chantre élégiaque, aux accents pathétiques, cet essai montre avec force qu’il a été un poète résolument engagé dans son siècle. Si l’écrivain s’énonce toujours « en sourdine » ou sur le « mode mineur », c’est qu’il y reconnaît, en vers comme en prose, l’expression d’une éthique et d’une politique destinées aux victimes de l’histoire. Verlaine écrit d’abord pour les humbles, les sans-noms, tous ceux qui sont réduits au silence, et ne savent pas qu’ils ont droit au monde. L’emblème en serait le projet des Vaincus, un livre qui a hanté le poète de 1867 à 1874. Car il illustre une tension fondamentale entre l’exil et l’utopie, qui traverse toute l’œuvre. De Poèmes saturniens à Sagesse et Bonheur, une même relation unit le sujet à l’histoire : démocrate et socialiste au temps du bonapartisme, chrétien en pleine ère laïque et républicaine, il reste exclu et dominé. Exilé, le sujet renouvelle sans cesse l’exigence critique d’un monde meilleur. Le sens de l’utopie fonde le devenir de l’œuvre chez Verlaine.

This open access book analyses the practice of banishment and what it can tell us about the values of late medieval society concerning morally acceptable behaviour. It focuses on the Dutch town of Kampen and considers the exclusion of offenders through banishment and the redemption of individuals after their exile. Banishment was a common punishment in late medieval Europe, especially for sexual offences. In Kampen it was also meted out as a consequence of the non-payment of fines, after which people could arrange repayment schemes which allowed them to return. The books firstly considers the legal context of the practice of banishment, before discussing punishment in Kampen more generally. In the third chapter the legal practice of banishment as a punitive and coercive measure is discussed. The final chapter focuses on the redemption of exiles, either because their punishment was completed, or because they arranged for the payment of outstanding fines.

The closest figures regarding the number of exiles, expatriates and integrated individuals in the case of Chileans in Costa Rica, which this book deals with, range from the 3,000 people who entered the country from 1973 to at least the end of that decade and part of the 1980s, which is combined with a process of return, or better said, of de-exile (repatriation) in the last years of the 1980s and following, although the chronological arc of this text covers practically four decades.

This book combines the approaches of political theory and of intellectual history to provide a lucid account of Québec's contemporary situation within the Canadian federation. Guy Laforest considers that the province of Québec, and its inhabitants, are exiled within Canada. They are not fully integrated, politically and constitutionally, nor are they leaving the federation, for now and for the foreseeable future. They are in between these two predicaments. Laforest provides insights into the current workings of the Canadian federation, and some of its key figures of the past fifty years, such
