Abstract

The concept of the tragic is somehow connected with violence. The present enquiry has the purpose of establishing the essential relationship existing between institutional violence and the tragic situation, the latter being at the same time consequence and denouncement of the former. Understood that way, the tragic is first expressed under a poetical form which is precisely called tragedy in dramatic arts: then under a conceptual form, in the analysis of the historical reality itself, by derivation. The analysis of current history may reveal all the potentiality of the tragic accumulated on the violence of power.
