BORELLI, Sandro; MARQUES, Flávia Brassarola Borsani  and  ROBLE, Odilon José. The inconfidence and insubordination of Tantalus and its reverberations in the politial body. Rev. Motriviv. [online]. 2020, vol.32, n.62, e63156.  Epub May 01, 2020. ISSN 2175-8042.  https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-8042.2020.e63156.

This article proposes to relate the trajectory and tragedy of the Greek myth Tantalus to the historical conjunctures, emphasizing the prominent role of the body in the construction of the society. It feeds on philosophical references, especially from Friedrich Nietzsche and Arthur Schopenhauer and from literary works by Franz Kafka and Augusto dos Anjos, in order to establish a look at the body as a reflexive instrument and, therefore, a hostage to the corporal and psychological barbarism in history.

Keywords : Tantalum; Body; Tragedy; Society.
