We read the appearance of Medea in Müller’s work as part of a pentalogy, since to the best-known work, the triptych Verkommenes Ufer Medeamaterial Landschaft mit Argonauten (1982), two previous fragments are added, “Medeakommentar” (1972) and “Medeaspiel” (1974). The figure of Medea (as well as other women in the classical tradition) was resignified during the seventies to review from feminist positions the place of women in patriarchal society. We are interested in analyzing these appearances in the framework of a post-dramatic theater. Likewise, Müller’s reconfiguration of the myth of Medea can be thought of within the framework of a series of re-readings / rewrites that from extemporaneous perspectives recover voices silenced, made invisible or exterminated by the hetero-patriarchal canon. Este trabajo aborda la figura mítica de Medea en la obra del dramaturgo Heiner Müller en el marco de la reconfiguración de distintos mitos de la Antigüedad clásica. Leemos la aparición de Medea en la obra de Müller como parte de una pentalogía, ya que a la obra más conocida, el tríptico Verkommenes Ufer Medeamaterial Landschaft mit Argonauten (1982), se le suman dos fragmentos anteriores, “Medeakommentar” (1972) y “Medeaspiel” (1974). La figura de Medea (así como de otras mujeres de la tradición clásica) fue resignificada durante los setenta para revisar desde posturas feministas el lugar de la mujer en la sociedad patriarcal. Nos interesa analizar estas apariciones en el marco de un teatro postdramático. Asimismo, la reconfiguración del mito de Medea por parte de Müller puede ser pensada en el marco de una serie relecturas/reescrituras que desde perspectivas extemporáneas recuperan voces silenciadas, invisibilizadas o exterminadas por el canon heteropatriarcal. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/interlitteras/article/view/9736 10.34096/interlitteras.n2.9736 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/interlitteras/article/view/9736/8576 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/interlitteras/article/view/9736/8597 Inter Litteras; Núm. 2 (2020); 211-233 2683-9695 0328-8935 Medea feminismo Heiner Müller teatro en lengua alemana Medea Feminism Heiner Müller German Theater “I want to break humanity into two parts and live in the emptiness left in the middle”.
