Antigone's Claim - Kinship Between Life and DeathAntigone's Claim - Kinship Between Life and Death

The celebrated author of Gender Trouble here redefines Antigone's legacy, recovering her revolutionary significance and liberating it for a progressive feminism and sexual politics. Butler's new interpretation does nothing less than reconceptualize the incest taboo in relation to kinship -- and open up the concept of kinship to cultural change. Antigone, the renowned insurgent from Sophocles's Oedipus,has long been a feminist icon of defiance. But what has remained unclear is whether she escapes from the forms of power that she opposes.
