Occupy Antigone

Tradition, Transition and Transformation in Performance

.....

The articles that constitute the last section revolve around “Antigone’s Scenes of Death”. While in Hegel’s account the ritual and religious aspects of the burial performed by Antigone stood central, today Antigone often comes to represent the radical politicality of the right to mourn and bury the deceased as a basic human right and as a tool of political power. Especially when contemplating for example Foucault’s work on biopolitics32 and Judith Butler’s reflections on ‘grievable life’,33 questions surrounding the dead and their righteous place become important.

In “Not Even His Dead Body: Polyneices, the Excluded Brother”, Francesca Spiegel gives a detailed analysis of the role of Polyneices from a variety of angles, stressing that “[e]ven though Polyneices is not the most important character of Antigone, his life, and the end of his life, is ultimately what provokes all of the arguments, crisis and tragedy of Antigone” (p. 149). She investigates how the group dynamics in the play are influenced by the presence of his corpse and are as much social and political as they are ideological. She points out his neglected position, for even though “[t]he dead Polyneices does not speak in Antigone, […] the presence of his body and of his spirit weigh heavy on the whole character constellation” (p. 149).
