Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] This essay shows how many and different reasons there are for rereading and rethinking Sophocles' tragedy. A tragedy in itself, which in history has been the subject of various theatrical rewritings and philosophical interpretations, but which remains capable of re-proposing different narrative plans of the human: those of freedom, civil disobedience, citizenship and identity among all. This essay presents itself, therefore, as an original and obstinate attempt to keep in mind the different teachings that Antigone offers us, still today, through that "right to cry" that forces us to reflect, but never enough, on the ruinous effects of a despotically applied reason of state, which beats its tail in the interstices of banal evil, pushing us further and further away from the laws of the gods, from human rights, from the human person.
