YEBENES ESCARDO, Zenia. Antígona González: For a Poetics of the Sacred in the Country of the Mourning. Acta poét [online]. 2024, vol.45, n.1, pp.17-35.  Epub May 06, 2024. ISSN 2448-735X.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.ap.2024.1/00s231xo072.

Antígona González (2012) by Sara Uribe (Querétaro, 1978) is a play that cannot be reduced to the legal and political language of denunciation and human rights but can be read as a poetics of the sacred. From its link with Sophocles’ Antigone and the discussion with Agamben’s homo sacer, this article contemplates Antígona González as a play that criticizes the principle of sovereignty and underlines the importance of the name and the body, in a sacred poetics of dispossession.
