Sobereign Writing

Abstract
We approach the deconstruction of sovereignty from the slant point of view of the sovereign madman. We base this approach on the reading of King Lear by Shakespeare, a tragedy in which sovereignty is divided twice, at the beginning and the end of the play, and which opens the possibility of a contemporary reading of it around two fundamental axes: madness and death. Two sovereign madnesses and three sovereign deaths.Format
