In order to do this, we would take the example of Incendies, the work of the Lebanese playwright Wajdi Mouawad, where autobiographical hints are interspersed with sources of classical Greek tragedy, the most evident of which is the one of Oedipus Rex; that is to say the relation between the mother and the son and the discovery of the Truth, which already appears in Aristotle’s Poetics. We also find the case of Cadmo and the search for a kidnapped family member and the importance of learning the language so as to understand the events that take place.  El presente estudio se centra en el análisis de la literatura contemporánea cuya formalidad textual se forja, tanto estructural como, en cierto modo, temáticamente, a partir de los fundamentos elementales de la tragedia griega clásica. Para ello tomaremos el ejemplo de la obra del dramaturgo libanés Wajdi Mouawad, Incendios, donde entremezcla tintes autobiográficos con fuentes de la tragedia griega clásica, siendo más evidente la de Edipo Rey es decir, la relación entre la madre y el hijo y el descubrimiento de la Verdad, que ya aparece en la Poética de Aristóteles. También encontramos el caso de Cadmo y la búsqueda de un familiar raptado y la importancia del aprendizaje del lenguaje para entender los acontecimientos que suceden.  Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires 2018-12-21 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/5482 10.34096/tdf.n28.5482 telondefondo.
