La guerra come condizione a-normale. Note filosofiche sull’Antigone di Jean Anouilh

Abstract

Moving from the reading of Jean Anouilh’s Antigone, this paper aims to show some little considered key of understanding of this myth. From this perspective, war can be underlined as a suspension of normal conditions of everyday life and this angle can be taken into account as a main theme in Anouilh’s version of Antigone. Due to war the main characters, such as Antigone and Creon, cannot live their normal life and they’re forced to behave in a non-human way by politics too.
