The author of Oedipus Rex manages to reconstruct the hero’s life path against the background of the map of Greece of his day. In doing so he constructs the imaginary of the protagonist’s identity, one that is inextricably linked to his mental blindness as opposed to the tragic, self-inflicted blindness meted out to himself as a punishment for his crimes.

The parent–child relationship is omnipresent in the works of Pier Paolo Pasolini. In Oedipus Rex, the filmmaker uses both the original myth and Sophocles’ tragedy to underline the fact that the father–son relationship is rooted in the Ancient World. Moreover, as will be depicted later on, Pasolini uses the work to evoke his personal experiences and artistic style. In this sense, the film is founded on psychoanalytic theories. Oedipus embodies the heart of Freudian thought: metahistorical hatred against the father, patricide and incest on the one hand, nostalgia and longing for the mother’s womb on the other. At the epicenter of this reflection lies the Oedipal theme of father–son relationship coupled with his digressions.

In this paper, the verb solvere, its forms and linguistic complements as they appear in Seneca’s tragedy Oedipus are examined. The verb reappears throughout the key moments of the play, but it also designates Oedipus’ ability to decipher signs, and thus marks him as a solver‑hero. Moreover, it creates an intertextual link between Seneca’s text and texts of Ovid and Vergil, especially with their presentation of Daedalus. Oedipus is shown not only as a subject turned into an object, but as a subject who realizes that he becomes also an object, and who is able to reassert his agency.

The article is devoted to one of the central problems of philosophy, which is a human identity, based on Ricoeur’s „philosophy of recognition”. This French philosopher refers to literary examples of recognition and to search for identity. He chooses Oedipus as a hero of „struggle for recognition”. Oedipus’ life drama shows a mysterious sense of human history. The source of hero’s misery lies in the destiny – a superior force that rules the world. Confronting the fate and drama self-recognition is accomplished.

Sophocles’ second Oedipus-play clearly relates to the first; it holds, however, a particular place in literary history, for it was the last play to be included into the canon of classical Attic tragedy. Moreover, the play shows another peculiarity: though the idea that death can be preferable to life is familiar to all Sophoclean protagonists, Oedipus was the only one allowed to get old, a process depicted quite realistically by old Sophocles. Oedipus’ self-explanation, however, that he suffered himself more than he really acted, resembles much a Catch-22 situation: if that were the case in those days, as Oedipus says that it was, he then was crazy and didn’t have to do what he did; but if he didn’t want to do what he did then, he was sane and had to do it, because the gods wanted him to do it. The proposed new reading of the play shows how time and age work on Oedipus’ frame of mind: a desire for whitewashing is acted out in a blame-game, awareness of what is to come is coupled with rather a hesitant manner as though he is slightly unsure of himself (what he is not), and eventually, being out of touch with time and fearing to be left alone make Oedipus curse, for he had been treated unjustly: Oedipus comes close to Shakespeare’s King Lear, though he does not go mad, he only becomes bad and dangerous to know.

The purpose of this article is to show that the Greek drama for Albert Camus was an expression of the universal experience of the cruelty of fate. Dramatic stories of Oedipus and Prometheus were for him a kind of map of the world with space selected for the man and his denial of suffering. Camus knows that in the tragedy even a man who is a „plaything of the gods”, maintains strength and honor in his defeat, and that the hero embroiled in horror stories, preserves the dignity, which adds faith and courage. This is where Camus found the connotation between the concept of fate and absurd, because absurd can’t be defeated by force of human will, a munity directed against absurd does not save the Man from misfortune.

The article is a psychoanalytically oriented analysis of the use of the myth of Hippolytus and Phaedra in A. Libera’s novel Madame. The function of the myth in the novel is presented in terms of the categories of reinterpretation and prefiguration as well as in the context of its ancient sources. Libera brings together the myth of Hippolytus and the myth of Oedipus by emphasizing the role of the symbolic mother and the narrative constitutes a defense against both Oedipal and pre-Oedipal conflicts. The end of the novel is an attempt at a positive resolution of the Oedipal tensions in the narrative by means of sublimation and symbolization, in the context of the Freudian conception of drives and culture.

This text attempts to reveal the relationship between Marx’s thought and the ontology of desire presented in Anti-Oedipus. Its key mode of operation, allowing exposure of the relationship between these two philosophical projects, will consist of omitting any references to psychoanalysis. Thus, the basic concepts forming the theoretical grid of Anti-Oedipus – concepts such as desire, body, unconsciousness, code, lack, and even Oedipus – will be explained without reference to the writings of Freud, Lacan and Melanie Klein. Too much time has been devoted to these last-named, as a result narrowing down the circle of recipients of Deleuze and Guattari’s work. It seems that the communication block was created primarily between Anti-Oedipus and the Marxist milieu (not counting a few minor exceptions). This is a channel that should finally be made available.

PL

Niniejszy tekst stanowi próbę ukazania związków pomiędzy myślą Marksa a przedstawioną w Anty-Edypie ontologią pragnienia. Zabiegiem kluczowym dla wydobycia relacji pomiędzy tymi dwoma projektami filozoficznymi będzie pominięcie wszelkich odniesień do psychoanalizy. Toteż podstawowe, organizujące siatkę teoretyczną Anty-Edypa pojęcia, takie jak pragnienie, ciało, nieświadomość, kod, brak, a nawet Edyp, zostaną objaśnione bez odniesienia do pism Freuda, Lacana czy Melanie Klein. Tym ostatnim poświęcano dotąd zbyt wiele uwag, w efekcie zawężając krąg odbiorców dzieła Deleuze’a i Guattariego. Wydaje się, że komunikacyjna blokada powstała przede wszystkim pomiędzy Anty-Edypem a środowiskiem marksistowskim (nie licząc kilku drobnych wyjątków). Jest to kanał, który należałoby wreszcie udrożnić.
