Spanish term or phrase: insilio

This is from a text about an art show held in Venezuela in 2001. The essay closes:

Y así, entre ruinas modernas y el revival de la abstracción geométrica, que también marcó la producción del arte venezolano del primer tramo del nuevo milenio, comenzamos a registrar, cuadro a cuadro, la prolongada implosión de un país, cuyos fragmentos ahora se esparcen tanto dentro como fuera de sus fronteras, en múltiples metrópolis, para producir los nuevos relatos de la Venezuela del exilio y del insilio.

I think it refers to some sort of exile within the country, but I am not sure there is a term for that in English that creates the nifty parallel with exilio in the Spanish original-
Thanks

insile

Explanation:
"The very coining of the term insile, analagous to exile, as a means of pointing to similarities between Uruguayans opposed to the regime - and thus marginalized - within the country and their counterparts abroad tended to diminish the importance of national borders as a means of distinguishing between attitudes towards the dictatorship. Insile took a variety of forms - active resistance , sonorous silence , or mere survival pending a new awakening."

Although it's usually used to refer to situations in South America, it's also used quite a bit to talk about the political situation in South Africa.
"So the legacy of exile in political leadership culture of the ANC is what you cannot deny. This legacy overpowers the creative role of insile leadership and exile leadership was put ahead of insiles in the 1991 ANC conference inside South Africa."

3. El insilio, la otra cara del exilio
El insilio como concepto es un término tomado de la psicología.
Lobsang Espinoza (2017) Psicoterapeuta del lenguaje y Semiólogo, en
una entrevista al Diario El Comercio define este término de la siguiente
manera: «El insilio es lo contrario al exilio; es decir, una forma de irse sin

moverse del sitio físico, o de quedarse sin en realidad estar. Es el encier‐
ro/destierro dentro de uno mismo»3.
Pero esta palabra, realmente no ha sido de uso corriente, incluso ha
estado invisibilizada. El Diccionario de la Real Academia Española, aun
no la registra, No obstante, hay quienes la han explicado a través de la
poesía, como el escritor venezolano Ricardo Ramírez Requena, quien en
su obra Maneras de irse (2014)4 describe perfectamente, ese estado de
enajenación que experimentan los ciudadanos venezolanos que a pesar
de la dictadura, se quedan en el país

El insilio entonces, no es un estado anímico que viene de gratis, es
como lo señala José M. Naharro, el insilio, es un encierro psicológico o
viaje interno, inducido por el propio orden político y por supuesto, el
económico, porque ese sistema, amenaza, cierra las puertas y cercena las
libertades individuales de los ciudadanos, en definitiva, es un compor‐
tamiento del miedo. El miedo es un dispositivo del poder que asegura,
la sumisión de los ciudadanos. Pero esta percepción no es nueva, ya
Hobbes, en el siglo XVIII, planteaba el miedo como una tecnología capaz
de hacerse someter «al poder soberano»
