Abstract

This research defines the mechanisms by which the discourse of exile becomes a discourse of power, using the two aspects of knowledge: organic and procedure. The exile used to represent the margin, the outsider, and the pervert which encounters the hegemony of the center that is located at homeland. By studying two of the diaspora novels, we will find that the writing of exile may move away from expressing of nostalgia, memory, and the dream of return, it is based on truth from the perspective of its writers and critics as well, using a range of techniques such as the phenomenology of the home, the concepts of domination, the deconstruction of absence, and recognition. It mainly benefits from the power of knowledge that is available in exile, which dismantles the authority of the center.
