Abstract
Today, due to the widespread cultural interactions and movements, the element of place has lost its static nature, as it had ancient stories, and has become a dynamic element in terms of meaning and implication. This dynamicity is more visible in novels about immigration since the cultural confrontation and, consequently, the multiplicity of meanings is provided in these types of novels more than others. "Love in Exile", the famous novel of the Egyptian storyteller, Bahaa Taher, is one of the narrative works in which place plays an important role in the reader's perception of the overall plot of the story. Intercultural communication in this work has caused the place to become a cultural code with deep and complex implications. The present study attempts to discover the implications of place in the above-mentioned work by relying on the descriptive-analytical method and by emphasizing the achievements of cultural studies. The findings indicate that, in this novel, an international conference is depicted as a central place from which the concept of multiculturalism is inferred and all events are valued accordingly. Also, based on cultural relations, each place has a meaning the understanding of which can be fulfilled through categories such as ideological identity and intellectual and cultural patterns of characters.
