Ciencia ficción y fantasía en narrativa sobre refugiados: visión subversiva en las representaciones de sistemas socioeconómicos y de género en Exit West y Carnival Row

Main Article Content

Alicia Valverde Velasco

This article focuses on how the hybridization of genres like magical realism, fantasy and science fiction in Exit West and Carnival Row serves to narrate the journeys of refugees and also to provide a critical and even subversive vision of the capitalist, colonialist and patriarchal systems. The resulting estrangement serves to emphasize key objects and to break usual perceptions. Furthermore, both works share a common representation of refugee women characterized by a high degree of independence, strength and capability for leadership, thus defying social constraints.
