Resumo: The aim of this paper is to verify how the problem of knowledge is developed in Foucault’s readings of the tragedy, Oedipus the King. Between the discovery of himself and the revelation of truth that liberates Thebes, it happens in Oedipus the passage from ignorance to knowledge, which delimits, throughout the entire play, a complex game of knowledge: listening and vision knowledge; distance and presence knowledge; kings knowledge and the slave hut background knowledge; prediction and testimony knowledge; knowledge that voluntarily withdraws from the enigma and knowledge that lurks beneath the fear and only the threat can extract it. For Foucault, Oedipus holds an excess knowledge which determines his character, his mode of action and destiny.

Entre a descoberta de si mesmo e a revelação da verdade que liberta Tebas, opera-se em Édipo a passagem da ignorância ao conhecimento, que demarca, por toda peça, um complexo jogo de saberes: saber de escuta e saber da visão; saber longínquo e saber da presença; saber dos reis e saber do fundo das cabanas dos escravos; saber da predição e saber do testemunho; saber que se retira voluntariamente do enigma e saber que se esconde sob o medo e que somente a ameaça consegue extrair. Para Foucault, Édipo é detentor de um conhecimento em excesso que determina seu caráter, seu modo de ação e seu destino.Cátedra UNESCO Archai (Universidade de Brasília); Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal; Annablume Editora, São Paulo, Brasil2018-04-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticlesArtigosapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/876410.14195/1984-249X_23_4Revista Archai; No. 23 (2018): Archai Journal nº23 (May, 2018); 109Archai Journal; n. 23 (2018): Revista Archai nº23 (maio, 2018); 1091984-249X2179-496010.14195/1984-249X_23reponame:Revista Archai (Online)instname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/8764/7499Incerti, Fabianoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-08-19T15:34:28Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/8764Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archaiPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/oai||archaijournal@unb.br|| cornelli@unb.br1984-249X1984-249Xopendoar:2019-08-19T15:34:28Revista Archai (Online) - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
