RESUMO
Resumo In this article, I discuss the issue of exile in the novel On Canaan’s Side (2011), weaving considerations about the diasporic subject developed by Silviano Santiago (1978), Homi Bhabha (1995) and Edward Said (2003). The novel is an autobiography of a fictional character, whose personal history is intertwined with traumatic episodes of the history of Ireland and the United States, country in which the protagonist has been in exile since the 1920s. In my view, the historiographic practice named microhistory (GINZBURG; 2006) resembles the kind of history Sebastian Barry chooses to tell, as well as the writing of history as a discourse about the absent (CERTEAU; 2011), used allegorically by the author in the novel.
