Please note: this article is in Greek. This article discusses alterity and gender in two novels by S. Tsirkas and M. Douka. It focuses on the processes and mechanisms through which foreign women, immigrants and self-deported, deal with the multi meanings of marginalization/belonging, alienation and power. Most significantly it explores the location of those women in new political and social environments from a perspective informed by ethnicity, ideology and sexuality and exemplifies both novel’s concern with the complex relationship between self and narration — in particular, with the techniques available for dramatizing interesting questions about gender, speech and subjectivity.
