Antígonaé uma das tragédias gregas mais conhecidas e que ainda desperta uma miríade de possibilidades no trânsito entre direito e literatura. Neste texto se pretende evidenciar os paradoxos que a personagem traz para a cena político-jurídica e suas nuanças, permitindo uma leitura mais a fim de contribuir para o debate acerca dos conceitos de diké, soberania, democracia e a inserção da figura feminina na cena do pensamento ocidental. 

Antigoneis one of the best-known Greek tragedies that still awakens a myriad of possibilities in the transit between law and literature. This text intends to highlight the paradoxes that the character brings to the political-legal scene and its nuances, allowing a more reading in order to contribute to the debate about the concepts of diké, sovereignty, democracy and the insertion of the female figure in the scene of the western thought.

Democracy implies necessarily conflict. The Colombian conflict is a case of a differend, [différend] a dispute, a conflict between positions in which any consensus betrays the original claims of, at least, one of the parties. The inequality and distortion that the rebellion exposes cannot be resolved by an agreement between the opposed parties. A secularized version of the sacrament of “forgiveness and reconciliation” is now presented as a political virtue. However, the projection of the differend in consensus and reconciliation will always be deceptive and deceitful. The political space of democracy must resist a narrative of reconciliation. The text discusses, in the contemporary Colombian context, the concepts of “ a “democracy”, reconciliation” and differend, criticizes the unity of notions such as “people” and “nation, and problematizes the supposed dichotomy between “war” and “peace”. 

El texto aborda la retórica y los conceptos claves en los discursos del Presidente Juan Manuel Santos y del Comandante Rodrigo Londoño durante el acto de entrega de armas de las FARC-EP el 27 de junio 2017. En tal contexto se analizan las significaciones semióticas de las palabras “pueblo”, “nación”, “democracia”, “reconciliación”, “guerra” y “paz”.  El texto critica la unicidad de nociones como “pueblo” y “nación”, cuestiona el mito de la “democracia” colombiana, discute la noción de “reconciliación” y problematiza la supuesta dicotomía entre “guerra” y “paz”.
