Description "Inspired by Julia Kristeva's recent work on exile and migrants in France, this paper will transpose her analysis to the French in Australia, thus operating a role reversal in the positions and oppositions host/migrant. It will explore the situation of voluntary exile and its marginal status. It will also examine the notions of lack and difference as part of the dynamics of exile and as central to the questions of the relationships with the host culture and culture of origin, of linguistic losses and acquisitions and to the construction of a fragmented cultural identity."
