DELBUENO, María Silvina. La recepción del mito de Medea en la marginación de una mujer: “Patrón” de Abelardo Castillo. Synthesis (La Plata) [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.2, pp.86-86. ISSN 0328-1205.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/1851779xe086.

In this study we resolve to look into the reception of the mythical character Medea in the story "Patrón" by Abelardo Castillo. The decision resides in the points of agreement of both female characters. On the one hand, we find in Paula, a marginal woman that suffers the expressions of extreme violence of the maltreatment she is subjected to by her husband, Antenor. On the other hand, that violence underlies in the same territory of the Argentine pampa. Nevertheless, the woman endures the aporia in an invisible border between her place of origin and the fence that the hands of the "patrón" outlined. Violence and deterritorialization constitute the central points this piece is structured on, in which the female character revives the vengeful controversial bias of the character of the Euripidean hypotext.

Keywords : Medea; Eurípides; Reception; Castillo; Violence; Territory.
