Nach der gewaltsamen Auflösung der Kommune wurde der französische Maler Gustave Courbet wegen seiner Beteiligung an der Zerstörung der Colonne Vendôme zu sechs Monaten Gefängnis verurteilt. Später im Mai 1873 verlangte die neue französische Regierung auch noch Schadenersatz (335.000 Francs). Gustave Courbet floh in Richtung Schweiz, wo er vier Jahre später im Exil starb.'Der Mann, der an diesem 23. Juli 1873 die Grenze überschritt, war ein toter Mann, und die Polizei wusste nichts davon. Tot für die Drohungen, die Erpressungen, die Machenschaften. Ein toter Mann, der noch vor Ablauf einer Woche mit einer Frau schlafen würde.In seinem Schweizer Exil hat Gustave Courbet den grössten Freuden seines Lebens gefrönt: Er hat gemalt, er hat geprasst, er hat in den Flüssen und Seen gebadet. Man staunt über die Freiheit dieses Körpers, in dessen Kielwasser sich die Gassen des Marktfleckens entwirren, über diesen dicken Bauch, der langsam die Gewässer, die Täler, die Wälder zerteilt. Wenn er malte, tauchte Courbet mit dem Gesicht in die Natur ein, mit Augen, Lippen, Nase, mit beiden Händen, auf die Gefahr hin, sich zu verlieren, die Gefahr vor allem, geblendet zu werden, überwältigt, von sich selbst befreit.Was ist das Geheimnis, das die Jahre in La Tour-de-Peilz, am Genfersee, überstrahlte, jene vier Jahre, welche die Spezialisten üblicherweise mit zwei Sätzen abtun: Courbet malt nichts Rechtes mehr und sauft sich zu Tode? Dieses Geheimnis, im Feuer der Pariser Kommune erprobt, ist die ansteckende Freude des Menschen, der sich selbst regiert.' David BoscEin glückliches Exil (Originaltitel: 'La claire fontaine') ist in den Editions Verdier erschienen und hat 2013 den Prix Marcel-Aymé und 2014 den Schweizer Literaturpreis gewonnen. Er wurde für den Prix Décembre und Prix Goncourt nominiert.

The central theme of this publication is the influence of eastern European Jewish architects, who played a significant role in the reform movements in architecture and urban planning early in the 20th century and helped shape modernist architecture, or Neues Bauen. Due to socioeconomic factors, the local architects involved were often Jewish. In German-speaking networks academic institutions as the Bauhaus, the Deutscher Werkbund, and other were quite influential. As in Germany, due to National Socialist persecution, exile or emigration, the architects themselves have frequently been forgotten. 13 scholars and professors from eight eastern European countries and from Israel and Germany reconstruct the interactions and exchanges through the works and biographies of the architects.

Exile and the disruptioon of the exilic period are prominent features in scholarly reconstructions of what influenced the shaping of biblical books and the development of theological thinking. The Babylonian golah community, as an exilic community, is credited by a growing number of scholars with influencing large parts of the Hebrew Bible. This study addresses the question whether the redactions show signs of an exilic mindset (first generation exiles) or are better understood as a reflection of a diaspora mindset (second/third and subsequent generations). This study also reviews all known archaeological diaspora findings from Mesopotamia in the pre-Hellenistic period (aided by insights from Elephantine) in order to build an as comprehensive as possible picture of Jewish diaspora life in Mesopotamia.

This work examines the nature of the relationship between the British Government and the Polish Government-in-Exile, 1939-1945. The relationship was extremely difficult owing to the extremity of the time and the situations of the two governments. Before 1939 there had been little contact between Poland and Britain, however between 1939 and 1945 the two countries were joined in a common desire for the military defeat of Germany: this was virtually the only common goal that the two governments shared. Polish ambitions to see Poland restored to its pre-war frontiers were not shared with the major

"This book is a philosophical reflection on the experience of time from within exile. Its focus on temporality is unique, as most literature on exile focuses on the experience of space, as exile involves dislocation, and moods of nostalgia and utopia. Marcia Sá Cavalcante Schuback proposes that in exile, time is experienced neither as longing back to the lost past nor as wanting a future to come but rather as a present without anchors or supports. She articulates this present as a "gerundive" mode, in which the one who is in exile discovers herself simply being, exposed to the uncanny experience of having lost the past and not having a future. To investigate this, the book establishes a conversation among three authors whose work has exemplified this sense of gerundive time: the German philosopher Martin Heidegger, the French writer and essayist Maurice Blanchot, and the Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector. The book does not aim to discuss how these authors understand the relation between time and exile but enters in conversation with them in relation to this question. Attempting to think and express this difficult sense of time from within exile, the book engages with the relation between thought and language, and between philosophy and literature. Departing from concrete existential questions, it opens new philosophical and theoretical modes through which to understand what it means to be present in times of exile"--
