Antígona e a tragédia dos insepultos: fragmentos poéticos para abordar o período da ditadura militar no Brasil

Abstract

This monograph proposes to make a comparative analysis between Antigone, Greek tragedy written by Sophocles (497-405 BC), and the Brazilian military dictatorship (1964 -1985), whose main focus will be the disappeared politician represented as a shadow, a ghost. It also addresses the incessant search of the families for a re-sponse of the State on the whereabouts of their departed entities, which have had the millennial rights denied: the ritual of burial. This monograph brings together, be-sides the historical facts about the military dictatorship in Brazil, a play produced in a university context, and that had the Greek tragedy as a basis to deal with the subject in question, in which it is intended to create an analogy between the play of the timeless, the Brazilian political situation in that period, and the consequences for families who have suffered the pains of the disappearances of their loved ones dur-ing this period of Brazilian political history, and who continue to seek a response from the State for the murders of their relatives.
