Abstract
En 1936, la filósofa francesa Simone
Weil (1909-1943) escribe un pequeño ensayo
sobre la Electra de Sófocles. El texto forma parte
de un proyecto más amplio: presentar las obras
maestras de la literatura griega a la clase trabajadora. Sin embargo, el breve escrito no representa
solamente un admirable ejemplo de divulgación,
sino que apunta hacia muchas de las intuiciones
políticas de la filósofa. El presente trabajo pretende investigar las conexiones entre la representación de Electra como figura de la opresión y la
posición de Weil respecto a la moderna concepción de la política.

That was part of a broader project intended to make accessible to the working class the masterpieces of ancient Greek literature. But the composition is not only an admirable example of divulgation; it also represents a key work where most of the Weilian intuitions on power and politics all condense around the suffering body of Electra. The aim of this paper is to show the close connection between the attention to Electra as a figure of oppression and the Weilian critical position towards the modern representation of politics
