Abstract

In this research we intend to show in general how the work of Nabokov approaches the experience of exile. We know that Nabokov himself was part of the diaspora, becoming a white émigré when he left Russia with the rise of the socialist government in 1917. Our hypothesis is that Nabokov’s work addresses the situation of white émigré in two ways: in a referential mode in the whole work and allegorically in Lolita (1955). As a theoretical reference, we based on the studies of Brah (2002), Proffer (1994), and Said (2003).
Keywords: Literature. Nabokov. Works. Diaspora. Exile.
