  • Issue 18: Trauma, Exile, and Cultural Displacement

    Moving beyond disciplinary boundaries, this issue aims to investigate how philosophical concepts – such as subjectivity, time, memory, ethics, and belonging – are challenged, reshaped, and illuminated through the lived experiences and narrative expressions of those who have endured trauma and/or forced displacement. Authors critically examine how philosophical narratives (literary, testimonial, artistic, etc.) engage with the philosophical dimensions of trauma’s impact on the self and the world, and how the condition of exile – with its attendant loss of place, identity, and community – further complicates these experiences.
