==Theory==
(contracted; show full)exile, outmigration, origins, and displacement. He offers the view that exile is an ontological component of human existence, and while humans identify with their origins, they are constituted such that they can abandon their origins, just as their origins abandon them. The result is the emergence of a potentially "internationalist" actor, which he calls the "emigrant," one who "thinks with an accent" and brings the unfamiliar to the familiar.<ref>[https://books.google.c
