| Sumario: | Two Argentine authors interrelate through the reception of the myth of Medea. Beyond the times in which their works circumscribe, both converge particularly in the otherness of their protagonists, traversed by the violence that exudes from the territory occupied by two conflictive identities. In La frontera (1964), Cureses has wanted to dialogue with the Greek idiosyncrasy from the Argentine dimension of la pampa and from the reality of the Conquest of the desert. While in La hechicera (1997), Alves formulated the recreation of a regional historical incident based on the accusation of sorcery against a native woman during the times of the Inquisiton in Colonial Tucumán. An impassable line provokes the conflicts that delimit the ones and the others, between the inhabitants of Colchis and the ones of Corinth, between whites and indigenous people, between Christians and heretics. |
