Portrayals of Antigone in Portugal
Portrayals of Antigone in Portugal gathers a collection of essays on the Portuguese drama rewritings of this Theban myth produced in the 20th and 21st centuries. For each of the cases analysed, the Portuguese historical, political and cultural context is described. This perspective is expanded through a dialogue with coeval European events. As concerns Portugal, this results principally in political and feminist approaches to the texts.Since the importation of the Sophoclean model is often indirect, the volume includes comparisons with intermediate sources, namely French (Cocteau, Anouilh) and Spanish (María Zambrano), which were extremely influential on the many and diversified versions written in Portugal during this period.

Whose Antigone?
In this groundbreaking book, Tina Chanter challenges the philosophical and psychoanalytic reception of Sophocles' Antigone, which has largely ignored the issue of slavery. Drawing on textual and contextual evidence, including historical sources, she argues that slavery is a structuring theme of the Oedipal cycle, but one that has been written out of the record.
Chanter focuses in particular on two appropriations of Antigone: The Island, set in apartheid South Africa, and Tègònni, set in nineteenth-century Nigeria. Both plays are inspired by the figure of Antigone, and yet they rework her significance in important ways that require us to return to Sophocles' \"original\" play and attend to some of the motifs that have been marginalized. Chanter explores the complex set of relations that define citizens as opposed to noncitizens, free men versus slaves, men versus women, and Greeks versus barbarians. Whose Antigone? moves beyond the narrow confines critics have inherited from German idealism to reinvigorate debates over the meaning and significance of Antigone, situating it within a wider argument that establishes the salience of slavery as a structuring theme.

الفن رسالة إنسانية تهدف إلى السمو بالإنسان والرقي بأحاسيسه تجاه الحب والخير والجمال. والأعمال الفنية الصادقة هي التي تدعو إلى ضرورة الكشف عن المجرمين أعداء الإنسان والحض على التصدي لشرورهم ومقاومتها، وكراهية الشر والدعوة إلي محاربته. هكذا تكون رسالة الفن وهكذا تكون وظيفة الوعي السياسي، المنبه على المخاطر المحدقة بالإنسان والداعي إلى محاربة قوى البغي والعدوان، التي قد تتمثل في محتل يغتصب حقوق الغير ويبسط عليه هيمنته، أو في حاكم طاغية ينتهك كل الحرمات.

Feminist Readings of Antigone
Feminist Readings of Antigone collects the most interesting and provocative feminist work on the figure of Antigone, in particular looking at how she can figure into contemporary debates on the role of women in society. Contributors focus on female subjectivity and sexuality, feminist ethics and politics, questions of race and gender, psychoanalytic theory, kinship, embodiment, and tensions between the private and the public. This collection seeks to explore and spark debate about why Antigone has become such an important figure for feminist thinkers of our time, what we can learn from her, whether a feminist politics turning to this ancient heroine can be progressive or is bound to idealize the past, and why Antigone keeps entering the stage in times of political crisis and struggle in all corners of the world. Fanny Söderbäck has gathered classic work in this field alongside newly written pieces by some of the most important voices in contemporary feminist philosophy. The volume includes essays by Judith Butler, Adriana Cavarero, Tina Chanter, Luce Irigaray, and Julia Kristeva.

مسرحية \"أنتيجون\" الأصلية، كتبها الشاعر اليوناني سوفوكليس، ولكن الكتاب المسرحيين، وفي فرنسا خاصة، كثيرا ما أخذوا المواضيع اليونانية وأعادوا كتابتها، رامين إلى إبراز تفسير جديد لمواقف الشخصيات، أو مستفيدين من الموضوع القديم، ليسبغوا عليه نفسا عصريا، وروحا جديدا، مظهرين فلسفتهم في كثير من الأحيان. فعل ذلك جان راسي، كما فعله كل من سارتر، وكامي، وأندريه جيد، وجان آنوي، وآخرون، ومسرحية \"أنتيجون\" معروفة القصة، فقد اختصم ولدا أوديب، بولينيس وإيتيوكلس، بعد وفاته، على من منهما يتولى الحكم، ولم تنجح مساعي الموفقين بينهما، وخاب كريون خالهما في الوساطة أيضا، في حين كان يتولى أمر الدولة وصيا، ريثما يبلغا السن المحددة، وعندما وصلت خلافاتهما إلى حد كبير، غادر بولينيس أثينا، وبقي فيها اتيوكليس، وقد تولى الحكم أو شارف على أن يفعل ذلك، فجمع بولينيس جيوشا من سبع مقاطعات تحيط بأثينا، وهاجم المدينة. وحول أسوارها قتل كل من بولينيس وإيتوكليس الآخر، بطعنتين أتيتا في وقت واحد، وتولى الحكم بعدهما، بصورة تامة، خالهما كريون ولكي يرضى الناس، ويعاقب الشرير، وينصب أمام الناس بطلا تعتز به أثينا، وشريرا تحتقره، اعتبر بولينيس الذي هاجم المدينة، شريرا واحتقره، وألقى جثته للنسور الجارحة، دون دفن أو صلاة، وحذر من دفنه.
