About the Special Issue

This issue seeks to explore how trauma and exile reshape philosophical narratives of subjectivity, time, memory, ethics, belonging, and identity. Moving across disciplinary boundaries, it calls for reflections on the philosophical, literary, sociological, psychological, and cultural dimensions of human suffering, resilience, and storytelling in the face of displacement.

The focus is on how narratives of trauma and exile illuminate philosophical concepts, influence cultural memory, and foster reconciliation, resistance, and reconstruction of ethical and political communities.
