Abstract
PEREYRA, María Laura. Antígona, desde el teatro clásico al Derecho Puro: perspectivas de la enseñanza a través del método del case-study. Cuad. Cent. Estud. Diseño Comun., Ens. [online]. 2010, n.34, pp.31-36. ISSN 1853-3523.
The present work proposes to apply the "case-study" theory as a methodology for teaching Law contents, through the analysis of the classic play Antigona by Sófocles. It is necessary to point out that very frequently students find difficulties to surpass the abyss that mediate between the theoretical abstractions and the confused situations that lays in reality. In order to cover that formative deficiency the method of case-study is an attempt of group learning oriented to extract the maximum possible benefit of the experiences and knowledge of the other. Thus Antigona as play can be related through its content to the world of the Law looking for to generate in the student a scaffolding that allows the intelligent handling him of the knowledge that it owns, moving away that the mere storing of information. By means of the analysis of this Greek tragedy the student will be in the crossroads of two philosophical currents of Law: the Ius Naturalism or Natural Law and the Ius Positivism or Positive Law. Such dichotomy will allow him to face real dilemmas that will have to solve in their professional life, for example what happens when the Law prohibits an act that the subject considers moral, and that prohibition falls on loved people.
