Borges contrabandista: sobre gustos hay mucho escrito Entre 1930 y 1956 se publican Evaristo Carriego, Discusión, Historia universal de la infamia, Historia de la eternidad, El jardín de senderos que se bifurcan, Seis problemas para don Isidro Parodi, Ficciones, El Aleph y Otras inquisiciones, entre otros libros. Durante este período, el más intenso y prolífico en su producción narrativa y crítica, Jorge Luis Borges propone una manera de leer y escribir sobre literatura que modifica no sólo el campo literario argentino sino también el latinoamericano. Esta tarea se lleva a cabo mediante lo que en otro lugar denominé “operaciones” literarias,1 en tanto designan intervenciones críticas y de creación que van armando una especie de red, contexto o incluso metarrelato desde el cual Borges puede ser, por lo menos desde una vía hermenéutica, leído según sus propios intereses estéticos.

  • No Success Like Failure Michael Wood Princeton University
    No Success Like Failure Michael Wood Princeton University But the desire of the essay is not to seek and filter the eternal out of the transitory; it wants, rather, to make the transitory eternal. t. w. adorno urrent conversations about the essay—and there are many—emphasize the provisional, speculative nature of the genre, the suggestion of a test, a tryout.1 They return to Montaigne and his use of the word essai—and also to his practice of the genre. CThey don’t really contemplate failure. But perhaps the thing is too provisional to succeedor fail. This is what Claire de Obaldia suggests in a carefully worded sentence: “if (the essay) is associated with the authority and authenticity of someone who speaks in his or her name, it also disclaims all responsibility with regard to what is after all only ‘tried out’ and which is therefore closer, in a sense, to the ‘as if’ of fiction.”2 We can try and fail, of course. But trying often brackets off the idea of failure in a way that “attempt” does not. Since “attempt” is the meaning of the wordensayar in Spanish—closer to “sketch” than to “experiment,” and the word also means “rehearsal”—the ensayo acquires a mildly melancholy note that is not present in the French and English names of the genre. I should say too that ensayar is not the ordinary Spanish word for “try” as essayer is the ordinary word in French. That word would betratar or intentar. 1 See Carl H. Klaus and Ned Stuckey-French, eds., Essayists on the Essay (Iowa City: University of Iowa Press, 2012); Christy Wampole, “The Essayification of Everything,” New York Times, May 26, 2012.

  • Islamic Esoteric Concepts As Borges Strategies
    Nada Elia Islamic Esoteric Concepts as Borges Strategies “I place no faith in interpretations, not even in mine.” J. L. Borges, prologue to Historia de la eternidad. “He is an atheist, but he knows the orthodox interpretation of the Koran’s most difficult passages, because every cultivated man is a theologian, and faith is not a requisite.” J. L. Borges, “The Enigma of Edward Fitzgerald.” tudies of Jorge Luis Borges’s work invariably highlight the wealth of philosophical and theological influences that underlie S his œuvre. Yet a search through the bibliography tracing these sources reveals disappointingly few titles elaborating on what strikes me as one of the major threads running through many of his works: Islamic mysticism. The paucity of such studies is especially surprising when one considers that Borges himself frequently referred to Islam and Islamic thinkers both in his written work and lectures at various academic fora. In Seven Nights, the series of public lectures originally given in Buenos Aires, he devotes a full chapter to a discussion of The Thousand and One Nights, claiming that the first translation of this col- lection was “a major event for all of European literature” (46). In Borges on Writing, an edited volume based on lectures he gave at a graduate writing seminar at Columbia University in 1971, he unambiguously acknowledges his attempt at writing in the Arab Islamic tradition. Thus he says of his short story “The Two Kings and Their Two Labyrinths” that he wanted it to sound as “a page -overlooked by Lane and Burton- out of the Arabian Nights” (109).

  • Jorge Luis Borges' Métier Joseph Tyler University of Michigan-Flint Hipertexto N All Modesty, As Researchers, Writers, Litera
    Hipertexto 20 Verano 2014 pp. 132-139 Jorge Luis Borges’ Métier Joseph Tyler University of Michigan-Flint Hipertexto … vi a Borges en una nueva fase de su éxito creciente: era ya director de la Biblioteca Nacional, profesor de la Universidad, miembro de la Academia… Pero lo que más me sorprendió fue verlo transformado en conferencista. Enrique Anderson-Imbert. “El Éxito de Borges” 7 n all modesty, as researchers, writers, literary critics, we, whether we like it or not, I belong to a select group. I don’t want to say brotherhood, because that would have serious implications. As members, we gather, at times, to share our thoughts, personal interests, and concerns, and it is for this reason I am here today to address the professorial inclinations of a well-known writer whose calling card exhibits similar descriptions as ours, but raised to a much higher degree of quality and interpretation, as the quote, by Anderson-Imbert, above implies. Furthermore, in the introduction to Seven Nights, Alastair Reid (in 1984) reminds us that: “Among his many literary selves, Borges has had a separate existence as a lecturer for almost the past forty years, and, like every separate dimension of Borges, the lectures shed a different kind of light on the whole, and make clear more of Borges’s webbed connections.”1 The last time I saw Borges in Pennsylvania, in spite of his frailty, he was still going strong delivering lectures, and instructing us, on diverse literary themes. My early contacts with Jorge Luis Borges were those in which I, as novice graduate student, sat in awe of this man when he delivered his profound lectures at the University of California, San Diego and, later at Michigan State University.

Williams All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Boreal Borges Jonathan C. Williams Department of Humanities, Classics, and Comparative Literature, BYU Master of Arts Jorge Luis Borges’s story “El Zahir” describes a moment where the protagonist finds rest from his monomania by reworking one of the central texts in Old Germanic myth, the story of Sigurd and Brynhild. The approach taken here by the protagonist is the paradigm used in this thesis for understanding Borges’s own strong readings of Old Germanic literature, specifically Old Scandinavian texts. In chapter one, a brief outline of the myth of Sigurd and Brynhild, with a particular emphasis on Gram, the sword that lied between them, is provided and juxtaposed with Borges’s own family history, focusing on the family’s storied military past.

  • SUBVERSION Infinite Series and Transfinite Numbers in Borges's Fictions
    CHAPTER 5 SUBVERSION Infinite Series and Transfinite Numbers in Borges's Fictions But can we not ask ourselves whether there do not exist, in the real universe, things which are non-algorithmizable, non-reducible, non­ unifiable.... From that moment on, does the problem become, not to eject and repress uncertainty, randomness, disorder, antagonism outside its royal domain, but to seek dialogue with them? Edgar Morin, "Beyond Determinism" NABOKOV AND BORGES are ofren compared, but their responses to the field concept arc very different: whereas Nabokov is drawn to it because its asymmetries promise to rescue art from being merely a game, Borges is attracted to it because its discontinuities reveal that everything, including itself, is no more than a game. The two stances are associated with verydiff erent literary strategies. As we saw in Chap­ ter 5, the impetus of Ada is to stop time; to create patterns whose parameters, once set, can encompass all future permutations; to make absolute and immortal the identity of the narrator, idiosyncrasies intact, by weaving his patterns of thought into the fabric of the created world. Borges, by contrast, attempts to increase rather than use up the available permutations. Instead of hundreds of pages he writes five or six, characteristically including at least one open-ended catalogue capa­ ble of indefiniteexpans ion. For Borges stasis is impossible because art is not an object to be framed, but a continuing process whose permuta­ tions arc inexhaustible. In "Pierre Menard, Author of Don Quixote," for example, a changed context results in a completely different text. The Don Quixote of Pierre Menard, we arc told, is a richer, subtler, and 138 SUBVERSION: BORGES vastly different book from theDon Quixote of Cervantes, even though they use identical words.
