From an analysis of the structural and semantic level of the piece, a repeated and systematic work with the idea of liminality -that finds a synthesis in the figure of Polynices- is evidenced. Built like a homo sacer, structurally this character condensed nucleus of meaning relevant to certain aspects of the Nazis modes of presentation and representation of death. In this sense, the association established by Brecht rests on a reformulation and mobilizing structures of representation that builds a representation that does not matter as object but as representation itself.  El presente artículo tiene por objetivo formular una hipótesis de lectura que introduzca una posible interpretación del vínculo que se produce entre el mito de Antígona y el nazismo en la obra La Antígona de Sófocles, reelaborada para la escena según la traducción de Hölderlin de Bertolt Brecht. A partir de un análisis del nivel estructural y semántico de la pieza, se evidencia un reiterado y sistemático trabajo con la idea de la liminalidad que encuentra una síntesis en la figura de Polínices. Construido como un homo sacer, estructuralmente este personaje condensa núcleos de sentido que guardan relación con ciertos aspectos de los modos nazis de presentación y representación de la muerte. En este sentido, el vínculo establecido por Brecht descansa en una reformulación y movilización de las estructuras de la representación que construye una representación que no importa como objeto sino como representación misma.  application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/1475 10.34096/tdf.n21.1475 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/1475/2996 telondefondo.
