Download or read book In memoriam written by Rafael Olea Franco and published by El Colegio de Mexico AC. This book was released on 2008 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Para conmemorar los veinte anos de la desaparicion fisica de Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) se realizo en El Colegio de Mexico el Coloquio Internacional que da titulo a este libro, acto academico cuyo proposito fundamental fue profundizar en la compleja obra de este autor, en particular indagando aspectos de ella que han sido relativamente poco explorados. Ademas, el hecho de que el coloquio se haya efectuado en Mexico, con colaboradores de este pais y del extranjero, permitio continuar el dialogo intermitente pero visible entre el escritor argentino y la cultura mexicana, iniciado en la decada de 1920, sobre todo a partir de su relacion personal con Alfonso Reyes.

Book Synopsis Borges and Joyce by : Patricia Novillo-Corvalan
Download or read book Borges and Joyce written by Patricia Novillo-Corvalan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Borges and Joyce stand as two of the most revolutionary writers of the twentieth-century. Both are renowned for their polyglot abilities, prodigious memories, cyclical conception of time, labyrinthine creations, and for their shared condition as European emigres and blind bards of Dublin and Buenos Aires. Yet at the same time, Borges and Joyce differ in relation to the central aesthetic of their creative projects: the epic scale of the Irishman contrasts with the compressed fictions of the Argentine. In this comprehensive and engaging study, Patricia Novillo-Corvalan demonstrates that Borges created a version of Joyce refracted through the prism of his art, thus encapsulating the colossal magnitude of Ulysses and Finnegans Wake within the confines of a nutshell. Separate chapters triangulate Borges and Joyce with the canonical legacy of Homer, Dante, and Shakespeare using as a point of departure Walter Benjamin's notion of the afterlife of a text. This ambitious, interdisciplinary study offers a model for Comparative Literature in the twenty-first century."
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Jorge Luis Borges by : Oxford Handbooks
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Jorge Luis Borges written by Oxford Handbooks and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Oxford Handbook of Jorge Luis Borges consists of thirty-five chapters, organized into four main categories: Borges's life, his representative work traced across the many decades of his writing, his work in collaboration, and his reception in literature and other disciplines. The volume highlights current debates among Borges scholars as a way to reevaluate how the physical forms and sociopolitical contexts of Borges's writings both shaped and determined specific readerships around the world. Alongside these novel approaches to Borges's fictions and nonfictions, this Handbook is the first of its kind to dedicate space to the reception of Borges's works in the fields of philosophy, the visual arts, film, political science, media theory, mathematics, and law. The collection also goes further to trace Borges's activity in the public sphere, including local and national politics and the functioning of cultural institutions. To date, no other collection devoted to his writings or life addresses these issues in depth, nor do they consider how his affiliations and interests change over the course of his long life. Incorporating these broader perspectives into this Handbook serves to bring out tensions, continuities, and discontinuities in Borges's work, allowing for a much more nuanced understanding of it.

Book Synopsis La rosa profunda by : Jorge Luis Borges
Download or read book La rosa profunda written by Jorge Luis Borges and published by Emece Editores. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro reune la poesia que Jorge Luis Borges escribio entre 1972 y 1975. El titulo alude a la rosa eterna de los poetas; la rosa invisible sonada por Milton; esa que Borges, ciego, ya no distingue pero que es para el imagen del mundo. Estas paginas encierran ademas varios otros temas y motivos que, con el tiempo y los libros, han ido poblando el universo literario, no por familiar menos maravilloso, del gran escritor argentino: las mascaras, la nostalgia de la espada, las sombras tutelares, los inventarios y las enumeraciones, la arbitrariedad del tiempo humano, la inexorabilidad del destino, los espejos... Sobre la poesia afirmaba el autor en el prologo: La palabra habria sido en el principio un simbolo magico, que la usura del tiempo desgastaria. La mision del poeta seria restituir a la palabra, siquiera de un modo parcial, su primitiva y ahora oculta virtud. Dos deberes tendria todo verso: comunicar un hecho preciso y tocarnos fisicamente, como la cercania del mar.

Download or read book Invisible Work written by Efraín Kristal and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well known that Jorge Luis Borges was a translator, but this has been considered a curious minor aspect of his literary achievement. Few have been aware of the number of texts he translated, the importance he attached to this activity, or the extent to which the translated works inform his own stories and poems. Between the age of ten, when he translated Oscar Wilde, and the end of his life, when he prepared a Spanish version of the Prose Edda , Borges transformed the work of Poe, Kafka, Hesse, Kipling, Melville, Gide, Faulkner, Whitman, Woolf, Chesterton, and many others. In a multitude of essays, lectures, and interviews Borges analyzed the versions of others and developed an engaging view about translation. He held that a translation can improve an original, that contradictory renderings of the same work can be equally valid, and that an original can be unfaithful to a translation. Borges's bold habits as translator and his views on translation had a decisive impact on his creative process. Translation is also a recurrent motif in Borges's stories. In "The Immortal," for example, a character who has lived for many centuries regains knowledge of poems he had authored, and almost forgotten, by way of modern translations. Many of Borges's fictions include actual or imagined translations, and some of his most important characters are translators. In "Pierre Menard, author of the Quixote," Borges's character is a respected Symbolist poet, but also a translator, and the narrator insists that Menard's masterpiece-his "invisible work"-adds unsuspected layers of meaning to Cervantes's Don Quixote. George Steiner cites this short story as "the most acute, most concentrated commentary anyone has offered on the business of translation." In an age where many discussions of translation revolve around the dichotomy faithful/unfaithful, this book will surprise and delight even Borges's closest readers and critics.

Book Synopsis Borges and the Literary Marketplace by : Nora C. Benedict
Download or read book Borges and the Literary Marketplace written by Nora C. Benedict and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating history of Jorge Luis Borges's efforts to revolutionize and revitalize literature in Latin America "Nora Benedict's illuminating book is an essential contribution to the understanding of Borges' relationship to the written word. The portrait of Borges as writer and reader is now made complete with Benedict's exploration of Borges as editor."--Alberto Manguel, director, Center for Research into the History of Reading Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) stands out as one of the most widely regarded and inventive authors in world literature. Yet the details of his employment history throughout the early part of the twentieth century, which foreground his efforts to develop a worldly reading public, have received scant critical attention. From librarian and cataloguer to editor and publisher, this writer emerges as entrenched in the physical minutiae and social implications of the international book world. Drawing on years of archival research coupled with bibliographical analysis, Nora C. Benedict explains how Borges's more general involvement in the publishing industry influenced not only his formation as a writer, but also global book markets and reading practices in world literature. In this way she tells the story of Borges's profound efforts to revolutionize and revitalize literature in Latin America through his various jobs in the publishing industry.

Book Synopsis The Poetry and Poetics of Jorge Luis Borges by : Paul Cheselka
Download or read book The Poetry and Poetics of Jorge Luis Borges written by Paul Cheselka and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1987 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study traces Borges' career as a poet from his earliest poetic endeavors before the 1923 publication of Fervor de Buenos Aires through the middle of the 1960's. Paul Cheselka considers Borges' better-known poetry collections, such as Fervor de Buenos Aires, Luna de enfrente, and Cuaderno San Martín; and he shows the often-neglected 1930-1960 period to be an important phase in the evolution of Borges' poetry. The poems are studied chronologically with particular emphasis on the relation of their themes to the poet's life and ideas. Cheselka's contribution is that of providing a clearer delineation of borgesian poetics; the poems themselves are shown to be the evidence and very substance of the poets's definitions.
Book Synopsis Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) as Writer and Social Critic by : Gregary Joseph Racz
Download or read book Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) as Writer and Social Critic written by Gregary Joseph Racz and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this book, ably edited by Dr. Racz, attempt to read Borges in this counter-monumental mode using the centennial of his birth as a point of departure. It is a fitting way to do Borges in our tangled era, keenly aware of the perils of public memorializing-in Buenos Aires's Memory Park to the disappeared, in New York's Ground Zero memorial to the blown apart-yet striving for the kind of open and fluid remembrance of the past that encourages new telling(s) of what inevitably will become old tales.
