Jouissance, speech, institutions and social ties
the eternal irony of the community. Antigone
Keywords:
jouissance, kinship, incest, law, power, feminism, social bondAbstract
This text aims to question the suffering (jouissance) and action of Antigone, taking her as interlocutor in the task of the social bond and how the action of rebuking Creon to seek the burial of her brother could give an account of trying (or not) break the curse of incestuous repetition and becoming other thing. Questions are poured to be placed somewhere in the possible interpretations, jouissance, and social bond are knotted. Crossed all of this by the text of Judith Butler, The Scream of Antigone.
