WEINBERG, Liliana. Jorge Luis Borges: reading and writing. Latinoamérica [online]. 2017, n.64, pp.71-98. ISSN 2448-6914. https://doi.org/10.22201/cialc.24486914e.2017.64.56840.
This article will examine some of the chief literary operations implemented by the great Argentinean writer Jorge Luis Borges. The article shows that in Borges’ work the relationship between the strategies of reading and writing were elevated to the point that they provide one of the keys of composition in his work, since it is with Borges that literature radically becomes the writing of reading and the reading of writing. Another operation that Borges exalted is the renewed and original way of looking at the relationship between the dimensions of fiction and non-fiction, criticism and creation which had an impact on genres (like the essay) that were renovated through the Borgian crossing of “inquisitions” and “fictions”. It is with masterful operations of this type that Borges re-examines the debates surrounding the relationship between central and peripheral literatures while he restructures the hierarchical order of the genres.
