Abstract

ANHAIA, Allysson Alves  and  FONSECA, Eduardo Ribeiro da. Antigone and the violence of the signifier. Nat. hum. [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.2, pp. 116-124. ISSN 1517-2430.

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the violent character of the signifier's order of the lacanian theory, of so that such violence serves as a foundation for all others that unfold in the social environment. Thus, we use the definition of violence presented by Slavoj Žižek to differentiate violence as subjective, objective and of the signifier. After that, we approach the constitution of the symbolic realm from the fantasy to explain the violent character of the signifier that separates the subject from the effectiveness, allowing the apprehension of the world and life in society, although making it impossible to fight the violence of the significant. Finally, we present Antigone's act as a possibility to combat the violence of the signifier.

Keywords : Violence; Significant; Antigone; Symbolic; Fantasy.
