Perec (non) place in Ellis For a geography of vagrancy and hope

With Ellis Island Perec offers us a geography of wandering and hope that touches both his trajectory and that of the exiles of yesterday and today. Reading this text again, in a context of the so-called "migrants' crisis" that has been shaking Europe and the world since 2015, encourages us to go back to Perec's words: space, migration and non-place. In this way, Ellis Island takes us back to our earthly human condition, where each of us is a potential exile in search of a place.
