To love Antigone means to love this lie of love for which her name stands in the history of literature and theory. This love is itself literary. It produces its own singular law which is not binding for society in general. To love the lie of love is an act of self-literarization. The entire effort aims at setting up and maintaining a fictitious state which is binding only for itself. This form of production of meaning has been opposed as ideological and insincere. One speaks of the imaginary. One suggests an authenticity with the means of psychoanalysis and equally with the instruments of Critical Theory. But Antigone could represent a problem which is far more questionable.
