Sophocles' play Antigone is a starting point for understanding the
perpetual problems of human societies, families, and individuals,
who are caught up in the terrible aftermath of mass violence. What
is one to do after the killing has stopped? What can be done to
prevent a round of new violence? The tragic and dramatic tension in
the play is put in motion by setting an unyielding Antigone against
King Creon. As we see through the investigation of how Germany,
Japan, Spain, Yugoslavia and Turkey have dealt with their histories
of mass violence and genocide in the 20th century, the forces
represented by Antigone and Creon remain very much part of our
world today. Through a comparison of the five countries, their
political institutions, and cultural traditions, we begin to
appreciate the different pathways that societies have taken when
confronting their violent histories.
