The Argentine Jorge Luis Borges, one of the most sophisticated writers of the twentieth century, suffered from sexual impotence. This emotionally overwhelming condition shaped his literary experience ...in ways that have not been understood. Until now Borges has largely been considered an asexual author who could not read, think, or write about desire and sex, but in this book historian Ariel de la Fuente shows that sexuality was a major preoccupation for him, both as a reader and as an author. De la Fuente has conducted an extensive literary investigation in Borges’s figurative erotic library and presents for the first time a study of the relationship between Borges’s sexual biography, his erotic readings, and the writing of desire and sex in his work. The author explores relevant literary questions while employing a historical method and the book is truly an interdisciplinary study at the intersection of history with Latin American, European, and Eastern literatures, poetry, philosophy, and sexuality. Argued with clarity, Borges, Desire, and Sex offers an unexpected perspective on the literature and figure of a world-wide influential author.
Tar for Mortar offers an in-depth exploration of one of literature’s greatest tricksters, Jorge Luis Borges. His short story “The Library of Babel” is a signature examplar of this playfulness, though ...not merely for the inverted world it imagines, where a library thought to contain all possible permutations of all letters and words and books is plumbed by pious librarians looking for divinely pre-fabricated truths. One must grapple as well with the irony of Borges’s narration, which undermines at every turn its narrator’s claims of the library’s universality, including the very possibility of exhausting meaning through combinatory processing. Borges directed readers to his non-fiction to discover the true author of the idea of the universal library. But his supposedly historical essays are notoriously riddled with false references and self-contradictions. Whether in truth or in fiction, Borges never reaches a stable conclusion about the atomic premises of the universal library — is it possible to find a character set capable of expressing all possible meaning, or do these letters, like his stories and essays, divide from themselves in a restless incompletion? While many readers of Borges see him as presaging our digital technologies, they often give too much credit to our inventions in doing so. Those who elide the necessary incompletion of the Library of Babel compare it to the Internet on the assumption that both are total archives of all possible thought and expression. Though Borges’s imaginings lend themselves to digital creativity (libraryofbabel.info is certainly evidence of this), they do so by showing the necessary incompleteness of every totalizing project, no matter how technologically refined. Ultimately, Basile nudges readers toward the idea that a fictional/imaginary exposition can hold a certain power over technology
Abstract This article presents an approach to the short story "The Aleph" (1945) by Jorge Luis Borges based on the parallel universes subject from two perspectives, the mathematical concept of ...transfinite, and the everyday life observation. Following Max Tegmark's hierarchy of the multiverse, it is set out to extend its philosophical content by defining how "The Aleph" argues the idea of the multiverse. On the one hand, this short story is capable of reflecting the motley spatiotemporal state of other simultaneous coexisting universes and, on the other hand, it can compress all its complexity into the simplest figure for its representation, the point. Borges (2013) mismo anotó en el "Epílogo" de El Aleph que "las piezas de este libro corresponden al género fantástico" (p. 345); sin embargo, admitió también que dos de los cuentos, "El Zahir" (1949) y "El Aleph" (1945), se vieron influenciados por "El huevo de cristal" (The Crystal Egg,1897) de H. G. Wells, un cuento considerado por los críticos como perteneciente al género de la ciencia ficción.
Este dossier nace de las reflexiones compartidas en el marco del II Congreso Internacional sobre Poéticas celebrado en junio de 2019 en la Universidad Guglielmo Marconi de Roma y organizado por Ali ...Calderón y Marisa Martínez Pérsico. En la sección Recuperación presentamos el «manifiesto número 1 del sindicato de trabajadores intelectuales y artistas de cuba» publicado en el Heraldo de Cuba (La Habana, año XVI, número 207, 27 de julio de 1927) acompañado de una nota del investigador Ricardo Luis Hernández Otero, quien ofrece las coordenadas de este texto publicado cuando se fracturaba la unidad ideoestética del Grupo Minorista, surgían publicaciones de orientación vanguardista lideradas por algunos de sus miembros -revista de avance, América Libre, El Estudiante, el renovado suplemento literario del Diario de la Marina- o se inauguraba la Primera Exposición de Arte Nuevo, dando cuenta de la eclosión vanguardista en Cuba por aquellas fechas. La sección Varia de Guaraguao recoge un cuento de la dominicana Zaida Corniel, un estudio de Valentina Litván, de la Université de Lorraine, sobre las huellas judías en la narrativa de Clarice Lispector y una reflexión de Jorge Eduardo Arellano sobre la poesía de la nicaragüense Magda Bello.
The symbolism of water and the construction of an imaginary around it constitute one of the literary manifestations most extensively treated by the Latin American authors of the Boom, since this ...element weaves a series of intricate relationships in which the metaphysical world meets the physical world ; consciousness with the collective unconscious, reason and passion.This article shows how water occupies an essential position in some classic poems (Greco-Latin) written by Jorge Luis Borges to develop ideas such as forgetting, death, time and discontinuity, already present in the Greek and Roman imaginaries (well known by the author), and so recurrent in epics stories. For this purpose, the poems entitled Proteo, Brunanburh, En memoria de Angelica, Al espejo, Efialtes, published in the poetry book entitled La rosa profunda (1975) and Heráclito, published in the collection La Moneda de Hierro (1976), will be analyzed.
