Resumen

Este artículo estudia la reescritura que Emily Hauser hace del mito de Atalanta en For the Winner (2017). Esta novela pertenece a una corriente literaria contemporánea de autoría femenina que da prominencia y voz a personajes y mitos femeninos de la tradición clásica. El escrutinio analítico del travestismo de Atalanta, así como de la reconstrucción de su identidad mítica ante las barreras de género revela los objetivos de Hauser: erigir un emplazamiento clave para atribuirle significados de determinación, agencia e igualdad de género, al tiempo que reubica culturalmente la centralidad masculina de sus representaciones canónicas y proporciona un replanteamiento feminista al mito.
