Re(living) exile: Trajectories and experiences of Belarusian double exiles in Poland and Lithuania
By Tatyana Shukan
English
This article examines the complex and evolving experience of time and space in exile through the trajectories of Belarusians who fled the 2020 post-electoral repression, first moving from Belarus to Ukraine and later to Poland and Lithuania. Taking a processual approach to exile, it shows how the plural and specific temporalities at each stage of exile shape their daily lives and their attitude toward the host societies. It also highlights the identity changes—intensified by the Russo-Ukrainian war—and the ways in which they (re)connect with Belarus in exile.
