Entre Woolf e Butler: Leitoras, leitores e releituras de Antígona

Abstract

When Judith Butler recovers Antigone's complicated genealogical scene and makes that the epicenter of her ideas about the play, she goes against the meaning of the kinship ties postulated by Lévi-Strauss's structuralism. Faced with an ambiguous and erroneous picture, the kinship ties in Sophocles' play, as well as the thinking threads that derive from them, become one of the main locus of divergence between the play's readers. These divergences are in conversation with each other, from Virginia Woolf to Judith Butler.
