Abstract

Antigone’deki temel bir sorun, yerle bir edilmiş kenti yeniden nasıl inşa etmektir ki, en derin biçimde kendisine karşı bölünmüş bir husustur. Sophokles’in tragedyasındaki bir unsur, lisanın kendisinin ikilemin parçası olmasıdır. Bu makalede, adı geçen oyunun hem konuşmada ortaya çıkartılan bir çatışmayı hem de lisan üzerine bir ikilemi dramatize ettiği öne sürülmektedir. Thukydides’in iç savaş sırasında ‘anlam değiştiren sözcükler’ analizi ile bu oyundaki linguistik açmazlar arasındaki bir karşılaştırma yapılarak, Sophokles’in tragedyasındaki lisan politikasını irdelemek için hem Kreon ile Haimon arasındaki hem de Kreon ile Antigone arasındaki stikhomythia üzerine odaklanılmaktadır

Sophocles’ Antigone and the Paradoxes of Language

Abstract

Among humankind’s civilising achievements, as the chorus of Sophocles’ Antigone lists them in the first stasimon, is the acquisition of language, conjoined in the choral catalogue with astunomous orgas – the ‘disposition that regulates cities’, in Jebb’s translation of the phrase1. Following directly upon the chorus’s account of man’s mastery over the animals, this conjunction emphasises that humankind has similarly found a way to master – and organize – itself. In the perspective of the choral ode, learning language and acquiring ‘the disposition that regulates cities’ are not successive stages in a process of becoming civilised, but are complementary aspects of a single dynamic
