Full textTheatrical problems related to Greek tragedy (translation, scenic space, characters, chorus, etc. ), as well as the ancient theater's 'message' today, are the essential themes of this essay. Through contemporaneous directions of three Sophocles's plays: Antigona, Oedipus rex, Elektra, the author strives to follow and analyse the evolution concerning the way Greek tragedies have been directed in France from 1960 to 1986. In his thesis's first part, the author considers, emiting some critics, the solutions suggested by the directors from this period to solve the problems brought up by the tragic repertoire, intending to give a general vision of the situation and to propose a typology of antic drama's scenic treatment. Finally, the second part of this study is dedicated to the work of three French directors on Sophocles's opera: Jean Vilar, Jean-Paul Roussillon, Antoine Vitez, as the author considers their point of view on Greek tragedy as the most relevant according to the period and domain herein studied, therefore deserving a monographic treatment

Full textThe comparative study of the tragedies of Sophocles and the dramas of Anouilh points out the evolution in the mentalities concerning the obsessive problem of evil. These two antinomic thoughts that are faith and atheism reveal the distress of man questioning himself about pain. The heroes of Sophocles and Anouilh are remarkable because they escape the paralysis of the suffering being. Their routes bring a new light on the heroical spirit and its altruism. Far from letting themselves dominate by evil, they compose with it in order to look for its meaning or even how to help it in their own essential being. In spite of the pain included in these plays, the fascination of the public for their theatrical performances has remained the same since antiquity. The spectator experiments there all the possible in front of evil and can also evaluate his own capability to dominate his anguishes its depth thanks to the aesthetic experience

Full textPenelope and Antigone, two inseparable faces of the feminine. From Homer's poem (850 B. C. ) to Sophocles' tragedy (between 496 and 494-406 B. C. ) two mythical and exemplary figures meet psychoanalysis with the help of Freud's (1856-1939) and Lacan's (1901-1985) texts to unravel the misunderstandings and dead ends of the problematic meeting of man and woman because of the "nonsexual relationship". Both original and well-printed in our time they dissociate thinking and action, power and responsibility. With her guile Penelope questions the feminine texture of waiting and with her weaving the feminine form of speaking. The fabric and drama of her life, the only certainty of woman is her waiting can be objectless. To this anchor is set her refusal. It is a choice which implies death. Phantasm of an infinite weaving, weaving without numbering, woman knows less from a chronological time than from a logical time. Antigone fascinates men and relates to women. Her fascination comes from her act and the limit where she stands, between life and death. Woman feels Antigone as she feels non-written laws. She rebels when human laws deviate in the name of the "Souverain Bien", mistaken with criminal desire. If there is no universal signifier for Lα woman, which founds her "pas toute", Antigone presents herself as a signifier of pure desire, which is a desire of death. Antigone and Penelope assert an individual truth against human power where oblivion seems to be part of politics. Having excess and solitude in common they guarantee a flawless memory

Full textThis thesis is a theoretical and practical reflection on different versions of French and Chinese translation of Antigone - a Sophoclean tragedy of ancient Greek. It intends to discover the nature of translation, expose the problems in translation and show the distinctions between different language communities. The study is conducted on the basis of an old but rich literary corpus from the perspectives of translation studies and linguistics, by using interlinear and contrastive approaches. Principles and procedures that developed in the theoretical part are used in the commentary and practices of translation in order to remove doubts and expose the difficulties in translation. Moreover, both synchronic and diachronic methods are employed in the comparisons of the different versions of translation. As a result, the study firstly generalizes some methods of translating ancient literary texts, and then discovers the linguistic, textual and background problems in the translation of ancient Greek in French and Chinese; in the last part it identifies the universal solutions to literary translation as well as the particularities of translation activity in China. The study clarifies the spacio-temporal and lingo-cultural distances among these three civilizations and offers solutions to overcome the untranslatability according to the specific context. These results suggest that translation is an interdisciplinary science, which enriches the cultural heterogeneity and in which the translator plays the role of a mediator

Full textSocial exclusion as a literary theme is common to all of Sophocles' fully extant plays as well as some of the longer fragments. The variety of settings is wide, between exclusion from the family like for example in Electra, exclusion from the city as in the case of Oedipus, from a regiment of the armed forces like in Ajax or Philoctetes, or even humankind, like with Tereus. This inquiry sets out to present, taxonomize and unpack Sophoclean discourses of exclusion and their attaining literary tropes of the pathological, the bestial, the brutish, the monstrous, and the so-called uncivilized. The aim is to demonstrate how deeply implicated the whole cast of characters and their language are in the process of a tragedy unfolding, rather than the causes of tragedy being lodged in the doings of one protagonist alone. One key point argued here is that, instead of taking 'the isolation of the tragic hero' as fait accompli, exclusion is a dynamic process that often takes up the entire plot arc of a tragedy. In the space of extrinsic characterization, it is argued that a process of rhetorical erasure and overwriting of identity takes place, where peer groups gradually dismantle a formerly well-established identity and re-assign a new and undesirable one. It is shown how the protagonists seek to resist, lament or somehow negotiate this process through long and expansive speeches of futile self-reinstatement. In the synthesis of both, it is argued that Sophocles' deployment of the theme puts a critical spotlight on the rhetorics of exclusion and its discourses of the bestial, the brutal, and especially the pathological, which embed and frame the work's overall literary, cultural and dramatic effects.

Full textUnlike ritual laments, tragic laments take place in a wide range of situations. Some are made over troubles other than an actual death, over events that have not happened yet, or over the mourner himself. This seems to be why we find such a huge diversity of both forms and contents of laments within the tragic corpus. How do the tragic poets modify the traditional form of the lament? Do these changes depend on specific contextual elements? In order to answer these questions, I will examine three laments: Cassandra’s in Aeschylus’ Agamemnon, Creon’s in Sophocles’ Antigone and Polymestor’s in Euripides’ Hecuba. These three passages show major contextual discrepancies, especially when it comes to the identity of the mourner (gender, age, social status, ethnicity) and their relationship to the Chorus. Moreover, they were composed by different authors at different times, which accounts for the evolution of the literary form during the 5th century B.C. These contextual differences allow us to identify specific ties between the context and the lament itself. The form of the actor’s part depends mostly on the mourner’s ethnicity and gender, while the Chorus’ part suits its relationship with the mourner. The stylistics of the lament may also result from the author’s personal preferences or from the date of composition. As for the content, it is heavily determined by the position and the function of the passage within the play. As the functions of a tragic lament differ from those of a ritual lament, the model given by ritual lament cannot serve as the only basis for the analysis of a tragic lament’s content.

Antigone, according to Marxist feminism, admits the truth that the oppression of women results from a gender / biology system, a marriage system, male violence, and false consciousness in Sophocles' Antigone. In Antigone-Ismene's scene, Ismene will not help her to bury their brother Polyneices because she must submit to Creon's order. Submission is described as Ismene's femininity and aggression as Creon's masculinity. In a gender / biology system, masculinity and femininity are constructed by male-ruling ideology. A series of negative female values are imposed by men. Femininity equates with submission and irrationality, but masculinity with aggression and rationality. Creon's exposing the dead is rational; but, Antigone's burying her brother Polyneices is irrational. As Creon's aggression means that man is the creator of state, so does Ismene's submission that woman is the subordinate of man's order. Antigone does not accept marriage because she hopes that her reproduction will not be a tool for the transfer of Haemon's future throne. The relationship between husband and wife is not equal. Husband is the oppressing and wife the oppressed. In Third Choral Ode, the Chorus praise the greatness of love. Marriage, as to men, is a peaceful harbor. Men has kept women convinced that mothering is their job. In accordance with Marxist feminism, marriage is based not on love but on property. In marriage, women's reproduction serves as a vehicle for the transmission of a father's private to children. The relationship between Mother and Child is isolated. Speaking of motherhood, men encourage women to be mothers. Antigone refuses to be the tool for the heritage of Haemon's future throne. The princess seems to be the dominant woman. But, wife means having no Self and must be obedient to man's order. There is no personal freedom for her if she gets married. Creon's punishment on Antigone-burial alive-is a violence to prohibit women from going into the public sphere. Burial is a public activity. Women are associated with the private sphere and men with the public one. If women have been limited in the private sphere, they are the captives in a man-made institution. Antigone's burial for her brother Polyneices calls for women's equal rights to enter the public sphere. Male violence devalues women as subordinate. The Chorus and Teiresias are the representatives of the public sphere. Although they admit the fidelity and piety of Antigone's burial for Polyneices, they blame Antigone for her having offended against the state's law. Burial is held by men, not by women. Women must keep themselves in the private sphere, not try to go into the public one. At the beginning of the play, Antigone acknowledges that she and Ismene, destined to be the princesses, have no equal right with Creon, the king. The princess seems superior to the common people. But, if she does not obey the king's order, she will be punished like the common people. Therefore, her "superior" is false consciousness. At the end of the play, Eurydice, the queen, protests against Creon's authority through her death. On the surface, the queen has an equal stance with the king. As a matter of fact, she is inferior to him. False consciousness is that men the oppressing deceive women the oppressed into thinking they have equal rights with men and are able to act as men. True consciousness is based upon sex class and reproduction. Sex class means that when women recognize themselves as a class and work together, then they will have an equal stance with men. To respect reproduction is to respect the ties of blood, the maternal lineage. Antigone's brotherly love for Polyneices belongs to reverence for those of the same womb. Eurydice grieves over her dead son Haemon. To lose Haemon is to lose her maternal lineage, her reproduction. True consciousness allows women to perceive reality with their eyes, not with those of the man-ruling class. Antigone's acceptance for burial alive, Ismene's willing to share with Creon's punishment on Antigone, and Eurydice's protesting against Creon through suicide mean that in order to acquire true consciousness, they must get rid of false consciousness through sex class and reproduction. They, however, are not in fear of man the oppressing class any more because death is a resource of rebirth
