LAS HEBRAS DE PENÉLOPE EN LAS AMÉRICAS
Este artículo se centra en la figura de Penélope, en tanto tejedora ejemplar de la literatura occidental. Esta figura es erigida por la épica como ostentadora de feminidad, una feminidad reforzada en la tragedia griega. Nos interesa la modelación de Penélope destinada a tejer y ocupada en los quehaceres del tejido para advertir los desdoblamientos ficcionales que garantizan la reproducción de un imaginario de la feminidad, pero, sobre todo, para rastrear en la narrativa reciente de las Américas las alteraciones y recreaciones que nos permitan narrar de otra manera el vínculo entre cuerpos y escritura. Para tal efecto, dejamos planteado el desplazamiento de una concepción metafórica del texto por una concepción material del tejido.
This article focuses on Penelope, usually presented as an exemplary weaver of Western literature. This figure is erected by epic as a display of femininity, a femininity reinforced in Greek tragedy. We are interested in the modeling of Penelope destined to weave and engaged in weaving tasks to notice the fictional unfolding that guarantees the reproduction of an imaginary of femininity, but, above all, to recognize in the recent narrative of the Americas the alterations and re-creations that allow us to narrate the link between bodies and writing in another way. For this purpose, we propose the displacement of a metaphorical conception of the text by a material conception of knitting.

Silas Marner
A man becomes a recluse when he's accused of a crime he did not commit
Silas Marner is a skilled weaver working long hours in London for a Calvinist sect that does not appreciate him. When the congregation's funds are stolen, Silas is framed for the theft and excommunicated. Presumed guilty, abandoned by the love of his life, evicted from his modest home, and humiliated by the men he called his brothers, Silas wanders north to a small village in England's bucolic countryside. Forsaking contact with humanity, he throws himself into his work, caring for little other than the constant movement of his hands and the stack of money he is slowly amassing. But fate sees it fit that Silas should lose his newfound wealth and gain the companionship of a young orphan, an experience that proves more valuable than any currency.
This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
\"I think Silas Marner holds a higher place than any of the author's works. It is more nearly a masterpiece; it has more of that simple, rounded, consummate aspect which marks a classical work.\" —Henry James

Masculinity in Contemporary Science Fiction Cinema: Cyborgs, Troopers and Other Men of the Future
Kac-Vergne identifies the conflict between Snake (Kurt Russell) and the Duke (Isaac Hayes) as symptomatic of a divide-and-rule policy, on behalf of the ruling elite, between white, blue-collar workers and African-Americans. [...]she examines The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) and I, Robot (2004) where intelligent female characters are unceremoniously sidelined once the violent, hypermasculine spectacle begins. Kac-Vergne identifies in The Matrix a 'rainbow coalition' of androgynous women, Hispanics and African-Americans formed against an explicitly white male enemy, spearheaded by a multi-ethnic star (Keanu Reeves), although his white skin tone is foregrounded in the films.
