Summary/Abstract: The paper explored the issue of the differences between the forced and the voluntary exile both as а historically (forced) and as an arbitrary (subjective) caused trauma to the subject on the other side of the homeland (beyond the national border). Trauma means unrootedness (forced exile) and homelessness (voluntary exile) of the subject. Those are conditions that in different ways cause consequences on human existence, on the de/reconstruction of identity and on the existential framework of identification. From the analyzed works/novels Egejci (Aegeans) by Kica Bardzieva-Kolbe and Crno seme (A Black Seed) by Tashko Georgievski, it was concluded that the exile (both forced and voluntary) is a kind of signature of human existence, the articulations of the homelessness are an authentic indicator of human identity and thenegative modalities of homemaking (unrootedness) radically change the existential framework of identification from the aspect of postcolonial theory.
