21. The Queer Use Of Communal Women In Borges El Muerto And La Literature and Desire Women in the Fiction of jorge luis borges. borges A Reader. A Selection from the Writings of jorge luis borges. http://lanic.utexas.edu/project/lasa95/brant.html

The Queer Use of Communal Women in Borges' "El muerto" and "La intrusa" Herbert J. Brant Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Sex and women are two very problematic components in the fiction of Jorge Luis Borges: the absence of these two elements, which seems so casual and unremarkable, really highlights the strangeness of their exclusion. For example, scenes of sexual acts are almost totally lacking in Borgesian writing (Emma Zunz's sexual encounter with an anonymous sailor is the most notable exception) and even the most veiled suggestion of erotic activities is limited to only a very few stories. Similarly scarce, too, are female characters who figure prominently in the narration and who seem to possess a independent personhood. The fictional world created by Borges is a place where women, if they appear at all, seem to exist mainly as debased objects for the purpose of providing men with an opportunity for sex and where such sexual activities, by means of a female body. Sex and women are used primarily as bargaining chips in the relationship between men, never for the traditional purposes of either procreation or pleasure. Sex in Borges' fiction, by means of an objectified female body, is nothing more than a maneuver that gives definition and dynamism to the interaction between men.

Through a twist of fate that the author of Labyrinths himself would have relished, these lost lectures return to us nowin Borges's own voice.

24. The Circular Ruins Jorge Luis Borges Text of borges short story. http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~jatill/175/CircularRuins.htm

The Circular Ruins The purpose which guided him was not impossible, though supernatural. He wanted to dream a man; he wanted to dream him in minute entirety and impose him on reality. This magic project had exhausted the entire expanse of his mind; if someone had asked him his name or to relate some event of his former life, he would not have been able to give an answer. This uninhabited, ruined temple suited him, for it is contained a minimum of visible world; the proximity of the workmen also suited him, for they took it upon themselves to provide for his frugal needs. The rice and fruit they brought him were nourishment enough for his body, which was consecrated to the sole task of sleeping and dreaming. At first, his dreams were chaotic; then in a short while they became dialectic in nature. The stranger dreamed that he was in the center of a circular amphitheater which was more or less the burnt temple; clouds of taciturn students filled the tiers of seats; the faces of the farthest ones hung at a distance of many centuries and as high as the stars, but their features were completely precise. The man lectured his pupils on anatomy, cosmography, and magic: the faces listened anxiously and tried to answer understandingly, as if they guessed the importance of that examination which would redeem one of them from his condition of empty illusion and interpolate him into the real world. Asleep or awake, the man thought over the answers of his phantoms, did not allow himself to be deceived by imposters, and in certain perplexities he sensed a growing intelligence. He was seeking a soul worthy of participating in the universe.

The Library of Babel by Jorge Luis Borges By this art you may contemplate the variations of the 23 letters... The Anatomy of Melancholy, part 2, sect. II, mem. IV The Library is a sphere whose exact center is any one of its hexagons and whose circumference is inaccessible. There are five shelves for each of the hexagon's walls; each shelf contains thirty-five books of uniform format; each book is of four hundred and ten pages; each page, of forty lines, each line, of some eighty letters which are black in color. There are also letters on the spine of each book; these letters do not indicate or prefigure what the pages will say. I know that this incoherence at one time seemed mysterious. Before summarizing the solution (whose discovery, in spite of its tragic projections, is perhaps the capital fact in history) I wish to recall a few axioms. First: The Library exists ab aeterno. This truth, whose immediate corollary is the future eternity of the world, cannot be placed in doubt by any reasonable mind. Man, the imperfect librarian, may be the product of chance or of malevolent demiurgi; the universe, with its elegant endowment of shelves, of enigmatical volumes, of inexhaustible stairways for the traveler and latrines for the seated librarian, can only be the work of a god. To perceive the distance between the divine and the human, it is enough to compare these crude wavering symbols which my fallible hand scrawls on the cover of a book, with the organic letters inside: punctual, delicate, perfectly black, inimitably symmetrical.

email donate directory Great Science-Fiction a critical list with discussions Science-Fiction and Fantasy Books by Jorge Luis Borges This is a brief discussion of Jorge Luis Borges and, of course, of some books by Jorge Luis Borges A Few Words About Jorge Luis Borges It is remarkable that the fiction work of a writer of Borges' stature, cumulated over a long lifetime, is scarcely over 500 pages' worthnot even so many words as typically appear in any one of the "doorstop" novels today's popular authors crank out every few months of their working lives. At least two conclusions are suggested by the fact. The first is that Borges worked in the short-story mode; and that conclusion is wholly correct. In the edition I have, not in particularly small type, the longest tale I see in a rapid scan is fifteen pagesmany are but a page or two in length. The second conclusion, which the first supports, is that for a writer of such modest fictive outputthe equivalent of less than a page a month over his half-century-plus career to be so very highly regarded as is Borges, his works must be, in the most literal sense, extraordinary in their quality. And so they are.

No. 1 Online Edition SPECIAL SALEany 100 Dalkey titles for $500 "The Parallels!" Italo Calvino and Jorge Luis Borges John Barth I discovered Italo Calvino's fiction in 1968, the year Cosmicomics appeared in this country in William Weaver's translation. I was teaching then at the State University of New York at Buffalo and had fallen much under the spell of Jorge Luis Borges, whom I had discovered just a couple of years earlier. In that condition of enchantment I had published in '68 a sort of protopostmodernist manifesto called "The Literature of Exhaustion" and also my maiden collection of short stories, entitled Lost in the Funhouse and subtitled Fiction for Print, Tape, Live Voice (that particular deployment of the term "fiction" is of course a salute to Borges's ficciones ). In short, the ground had been prepared for my delight in Calvino's Cosmicomics and then in his t zero stories, which appeared in Mr. Weaver's English the following year. Here, I thought, was a sort of Borges without tears, or better, a Borges con molto brio: lighter-spirited than the great Argentine, often downright funny (as Sr. Borges almost never is), yet comparably virtuosic in form and language, comparably rich in intelligence and imagination.
