Abstract

This work seeks to reflect on confinement and de-confinement from exile as a philosophical-political category. This perspective allows an inversion of notions of confinement and de-confinement, inside and outside, to postulate that exile would be a kind of confinement on the outside, because the violent expulsion implies the impossibility to return to it’s own. This reflective path, written as an essay, seeks to show the different moments of this equation, to end thinking about possible returns of the exile and its confinements at outside and the effects that this could have.
