Entre los años 1936 y 1939, la revista bonaerense «El Hogar » («Ilustración semanal argentina») contó con un nuevo colaborador para su sección de «Libros y autores extranjeros» : Jorge-Luis Borges . Ignoramos si, en aquel entonces, los habituales de la revista, amas de casa en su mayoría, supieron distinguir el singularísimo talento que esa firma suscribía. Lo que sí sabemos es que, cincuenta años después, los ensayos y reseñas que Borges realizó para esta sección constituyen, en el más amplio sentido del término, una admirable lectura, es decir, toda una lección. No en vano pudo un día declarar Borges sin arrogancia : «Que otros se jacten de los libros que les ha sido dado escribir ; yo me jacto de aquéllos que me fue dado leer» ; para añadir luego : «No sé si soy un buen escritor ; creo ser un excelente lector, o, en todo caso, un sensible y agradecido lector». Los textos aquí reunidos son una asombrosa confirmación de estas palabras. En ellos se pone de manifiesto cómo Borges, dedicado al ejercicio de comentar libros y autores, asimila su labor de crítico al oficio mucho más vasto —y difícil— de comprender. Pese a hallarse «cautivos» en el ceñido marco de una sección divulgativa, los comentarios de Borges jamás perdieron altura ni se avienen a concesiones. Tampoco exceden nunca su función concreta. A la hora de enjuiciar una obra, cualquier obra, Borges, fiel a sí mismo, se atiene al ámbito estricto de lo literario. Uno descubre así que su interés y su afición por personalidades tan diametralmente distintas como Schopenhauer, Valéry o H.G. Wells guardan en él una sola e idéntica raíz : su pasión por los enigmas y trabajos de la inteligencia, a la que Borges sirve siempre provisto de un lenguaje imperturbablemente certero, de una sabiduría exquisitamente delicada. Por otra parte, los textos que ahora publicamos tienen también un valor documental de primer orden, en la medida en que testimonian la posición intelectual de Borges durante los años en que su escritura adquiere el tono definitivo que le va a ser propio. Recuérdese : son los años inciertos de entreguerras, y también aquéllos en los que Borges sufre el accidente que jalonará simbólicamente su trayectoria literaria ; acaba de aparecer la Historia universal de la infamia y, en mayo de 1939, nace «Pierre Menard», que según la «ficción autobiográfica» de Borges es su primer cuento.

This book studies how Borges constructs a theory of translation that plays a fundamental role in the development of Argentine literature, and which, in turn, expands the potential for writers in Latin America to create new and innovative literatures through processes of re-reading, rewriting, and mis-translation. The book analyzes Borges's texts in both an Argentine and a transnational context, thus incorporating Borges's ideas into contemporary debates about translation and its relationship to language and aesthetics, Latin American culture and identity, tradition and originality, and center-periphery dichotomies. Furthermore, a central objective of this book is to show that the study of the importance of translation in Borges and of the importance of Borges for translation studies need not be separated. Furthermore, translation studies has much to gain by the inclusion of Latin American thinkers such as Borges, while literary studies has much to gain by in-depth considerations of the role of translation in Latin American literatures. Sergio Waisman is an Assistant Professor of Spanish at The George Washington University.

This book seeks to fill a double lacuna in Borges scholarship. For one, this scholarship has been largely developed through the lens of literary and cultural studies, and not by political theorists who bring a distinct disciplinary perspective into the reading of literary works. Secondly, mainstream interpreters have overlooked or have not analyzed enough Borges’s political sympathies. This book doesnot evaluate if these sympathies are truthful to political and historical facts or philosophical theories; rather, she shows in which aspects and around which topics Borges finds inspiration and gives literary form to the political. His texts abound with concepts and events such as liberty, individuality, war, and revolution, and they deal with topics such as the legitimacy of authority, the limits of reason, and the principle of representation, among others. This book also addresses Borges’s democratic sensitivity and his critique of populism and militarism as related to salient national and global historical events that inspired his works. Above all, it calls attention to Borges’s belief in the pre-eminence of individual liberty, his rejection of political oppression, and his warning against civic indifference brought about by an isolated individualism. This book may be of interest to students and professors of politics, philosophy and literature. It may also interest literary critics and readers who want to approach Borges’s works with a political rather than a literary or a cultural lens.

Jorge Luis Borges-one of the most important Latin American writers-has also attained considerable international stature, and his work is commonly cited in a wide array of scholarship on contemporary fiction. Partly as a consequence of Borges' international identity, and partly because of a long-standing view in Borges criticism that his writing is principally concerned with abstract ideas, critics have been reluctant to address the question of politics in his writing Filling this critical gap, Gonzalez begins by rejecting the proposition that Borges withdraws from the "real," and provides a detailed analysis of the various political issues that Borges takes up in his essays and short stories. The author places particular emphasis on the turbulent questions that shaped Argentine social history during the period of Borges' output.

An urgent call to think on the edges, surfaces, and turns of the literary artifact when it crosses cultural boundaries In the absence of specialized programs of study, abstract discussions of China in Latin America took shape in contingent critical infrastructures built at the crossroads of the literary market, cultural diplomacy, and commerce. As Rosario Hubert reveals, modernism flourishes comparatively, in contexts where cultural criticism is a creative and cosmopolitan practice. Disoriented Disciplines: China, Latin America, and the Shape of World Literature understands translation as a material act of transfer, decentering the authority of the text and connecting seemingly untranslatable cultural traditions. In this book, chinoiserie, “coolie” testimonies, Maoist prints, visual poetry, and Cold War memoirs compose a massive archive of primary sources that cannot be read or deciphered with the conventional tools of literary criticism. As Hubert demonstrates, even canonical Latin American authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Octavio Paz, and Haroldo de Campos, write about China from the edges of philology, mediating the concrete as well as the sensorial. Advocating for indiscipline as a core method of comparative literary studies, Disoriented Disciplines challenges us to interrogate the traditional contours of the archives and approaches that define the geopolitics of knowledge.

Vol. 2 is dedicated to the use of Kierkegaard by later Danish writers. Almost from the beginning Kierkegaard's works were standard reading for these authors. Danish novelists and critics from the Modern Breakthrough movement in the 1870s were among the first to make extensive use of his writings. These included the theoretical leader of the movement, the critic Georg Brandes, who wrote an entire book on Kierkegaard, and the novelists Jens Peter Jacobsen and Henrik Pontoppidan

This book considers the contemporary political formula of the “Chinese Dream” in the light of the treatment of dreams in Chinese literary history since antiquity. Sinic literary and philosophical texts document an extensive spectrum of dream possibilities: starting with Zhuangzi’s eminent butterfly dream, an early example of the inversion of the dreamer’s reality, through to confusing visions of the spiritual realm. In classical dramas, novels, and ghost stories, dreams see the earthly realm enter into conflict with higher realms of existence. They indulge the dreamer’s quest for sensual pleasures, but then spiritual beings relentlessly harvest the dreamers’ life energy. Dreams promise spiritual enlightenment – only to abandon the dreamer in a state of utter confusion. In the early twentieth century, traditional dream knowledge is abandoned in favour or Freudian episodes of sexual repression. In this context, the collective national dream emerges as an unexpected vehicle of the pained individual’s hope for national rejuvenation.
