  \n \n \n The figure of Antigone\, daughter of Oed
 ipus\, is the focus of the 2025 English-Speaking C
 onference. The final play in Sophocles&rsquo\; The
 ban trilogy centres on&nbsp\;Antigone\, child of t
 he incestuous union between Oedipus and Jocasta. T
 he tragedy unfolds in the wake of civil war as Ant
 igone resolves&nbsp\;to bury her dead brother\, in
  defiance of her uncle Creon&rsquo\;s prohibition.
  Sophocles&rsquo\;s play weaves together a number 
 of psychoanalytic concerns: transgenerational trau
 ma\, femininity\, the sibling axis\, grief and the
  obstacles to mourning\, masochism and death.&nbsp
 \;Sophocles confronts us with the tragic consequen
 ces of turning a deaf ear. Our challenge now is to
  listen to Antigone\, to hear her story\, and what
  it brings to a contemporary psychoanalysis.\n \n
