Abstract
This paper examines the investigation conducted by Deborah Puccio-Den in Mafiacraft by high-lighting the political and moral tenor of processes of judicial categorization, and specifically the processes of subjectification that descend from the modes of objectification of responsibility. By analyzing Puccio-Den’s use of the mafia archive, an attempt is made to show a tragic dimension of Italian history and its moral economy, traversed at once by a binary partition and an ambiguous relationship between the State and the mafia, which the archetypal evidential paradigm, namely Sophoclean Oedipus Rex, is able to render intelligible.
