Course Description
Borges’ vision of the world as a Library of Babel and an Aleph anticipated
the information age and the development of the Internet by several
decades. However, although Borges can be regarded as the least
representative Latin American writer, not all his fictions address universal
problems. This course shows how many of his short stories, essays and
poems are embedded in and have contributed to the Latin American and
Argentine literary traditions. The course also considers Borges’ precursors
(Poe, Marcel Schwob and Kafka) and his followers (Donald Barthelme, Italo
Calvino and Umberto Eco, among others). Finally, it looks at Borges’
presence in visual culture: film, architecture and art.
