Summary/Abstract: The present article tries to investigate the concept of “exile” throughout modernity, late modernity, and during the Covid - 19 pandemic in 2020. Both literary and sociological perspectives are considered, a special attention being given to the works of Edward Said, Alexis Nouss, Marc Augé, and Zygmunt Baumann. In the second part, the study aims to briefly identify the possible new meanings of “exile” that the coronavirus lockdown brought into our lives, with reference to “Jurnalul pandemiei” (“Plague Diary”), published by the well-known Portuguese writer Gonçalo M. Tavares in 2022.
