| Abstract (English): | Starting from the idea formulated by Edward Said that the experience of being homeless generates a distanced reading of historical facts, we propose the present study, which consists of analyzing how exile intervenes in the narrative strategies of the Palestinian British artist Mona Hatoum. Our purpose is to create a theoretical framework that helps us understand the reason for her formal and aesthetic choices, where the use of fiction and the duality between attraction and repulsion stand out. The strategy used consists of delving into the paradoxical relationships of Hatoum's experience as an Arab artist of the diaspora through symmetries and parallels with historical references who experienced similar situations. This strategy is used as an introduction and contextualization of the work of our artist under study in order to understand her discursive development, her role as speaker of the Arab sociopolitical reality in the heart of the Western world and the value of the vision that it provides us about said reality.

| Abstract (Spanish): | A partir de la idea que formula Edward Said de que la experiencia de carecer de hogar genera una lectura distanciada de los hechos históricos, planteamos el presente estudio, que consiste en analizar cómo interviene el exilio en las estrategias narrativas de la artística británico palestina Mona Hatoum. Nuestro propósito es crear un marco teórico que nos ayude a comprender el porqué de sus elecciones formales y estéticas, donde destacan el uso de la ficción y la dualidad entre la atracción y la repulsión. La estrategia empleada consiste en profundizar en las relaciones paradójicas de la experiencia de Hatoum como artista árabe de la diáspora a través de simetrías y paralelismos con referentes históricos que experimentaron semejantes situaciones. Esta estrategia es empleada como introducción y contextualización del trabajo de nuestra artista objeto de estudio con el fin de entender su desarrollo discursivo, su papel como altavoz de la realidad sociopolítica árabe en el corazón del mundo occidental y el valor que posee la visión que nos proporciona sobre dicha realidad.
