Borges, Language and Reality: The Transcendence of the Word
Editat de Alfonso J. García-Osunaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 dec 2019
This
book
brings
together
the
work
of
several
scholars
to
shed
light
on
the
Argentine
author
Jorge
Luis
Borges'
complex
relationship
with
language
and
reality.
A
critical
assumption
driving
the
work
is
that
there
is, as
Jaime
Alazraki
has
put
it, 'a
genuine
effort
to
overcome
the
narrowness
that
Western
tradition
has
imposed
as
a
master
and
measure
of
reality' in
Borges'
writing.
That
narrowness
is
in
large
measure
a
consequence
of
the
chronic
influence
of
positivist
approaches
to
reality
that
rely
on
empirical
evidence
for
any
authentication
of
what
is
'real'. This
study shows
that,
in
opposition
to
such
restrictions,
Borges
saw
in
fiction,
in
literature,
the
most
viable
means
of
discussing
reality
in
a
pragmatic
manner.
Moreover,
by
scrutinising several
of
the
author's
works,
it
establishes
signposts
for
considering
the
truly
complicated
relationship
that
Borges
had
with
reality,
one
that
intimately
associates
the
'real'
with
human
perception,
insight
and
language.
