Abstract
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relationships of Hatoum's experience as an Arab artist of the diaspora through symmetries and parallels with historical references who experienced similar situations.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.
