LOPEZ GREGORIS, Rosario. El sujeto que no migra: Penélope toma la palabra. Formas de exilio interior en Margaret Atwood y Begoña Caamaño. Synthesis (La Plata) [online]. 2018, vol.25, n.1, pp.13-14. ISSN 0328-1205.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/1851779xe033.

This paper compares two rewritings of the Odyssey from Penelope's perspective; who without travelling she is forced to develop her own survival strategies. Both Margaret Atwood's, The Penelopiad, and the work of Galician writer Begoña Caamaño, Circe o el placer del azul, are subversive novels, which are narrated from a feminine -even feminist- perspective, questioning the truth of the Homeric tale. Despite the coincidences, these rewritings employ very different mechanisms, humor and sublimation among others, in order to provide Penelope with her own voice.

Palabras clave : Penelope; Odyssey; feminism; subversion; exile.
