Abstract
This chapter examines the standpoint of exile as an issue in political aesthetics. Drawing on Said’s emphases on counterpoint, parataxis, and the negations of late style in his writings on culture and politics, I suggest that exile is more an intellectual disposition than ontological state and, in this particular mode, brings into view the possibilities of an aesthetics of nonreconciliation.
