Abstract

This essay inquires into Dante's exile as it is displayed in Paradiso XVII, pointing out its nature as an ideological construction inside a christian feudal conception. Dante's exile is useful to give several meanings concerning Christ's faith and sacrifice, but also to get into an exile's conception as a personal identity crisis, not only social but psychic or ontological as well.
