Blurred the ambiguity: a few revisions of a mythic figure in the Spanish-American literature

Abstract

Sorcian or magician, fatal or vulnerable woman, master or victim of her destiny, Circé has an ambiguity that can inspire many rewriting. For example, Latin American writers such as Julio Cortázar, Julio Torri, Claribel Alegría or Luisa Futoranski have reinvented this mythic figure, sometimes reversing its traditional negative polarisation, in a reflection that tends to call into question the coherence that the myth brings to the world and life.
