Abstract

This article reflects on the paradoxical conceptualization of exile according to Said, and it expands the analysis with reflections by Joseba Sarrionandia. Throughout Sarrionandia´s oeuvre, there is an intellectual journey toward the ontological position of exile. Silence and the searching for a new language are two transitions of the sarrionandian journey, reaching the creation of a writing style capable of expressing the marginal and dissident perspective of exile as a paradigm. The last part of the article focuses on the essay Moroak gara behelaino artean?, in order to understand the main characteristic of Sarrionandia’s contrapuntist writing style.
