A provocative examination of the artistic interpretation of twelve of Borges’s most famous stories.
Norah Borges (1901–98) was the sister of the celebrated Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. She first began producing art in Switzerland, where her family was trapped during the First World War, and travelled to Spain before returning to her native Argentina with her new styles of painting. In the 1920s, her work was published on the covers of important cultural magazines, but she is now largely forgotten. In her works, Borges created a world full of almost angelic figures – describing it as a smaller, more perfect world – mostly a serene space dominated by women. This book explores how Borges created that space and developed her own unique style of painting, studying the connections she made with the leading artists and writers of her time.
This book explores the relationship between time, life, and history in the work of Jorge Luis Borges and examines his work in relation to his contemporary, Walter Benjamin. By focusing on texts from the margins of the Borges canon—including the early poems on Buenos Aires, his biography of Argentina's minstrel poet Evaristo Carriego, the stories and translations from A Universal History of Infamy, as well as some of his renowned stories and essays—Kate Jenckes argues that Borges's writing performs an allegorical representation of history. Interspersed among the readings of Borges are careful and original readings of some of Benjamin's finest essays on the relationship between life, language, and history. Reading Borges in relationship to Benjamin draws out ethical and political implications from Borges's works that have been largely overlooked by his critics.
Fleeing Cuba in 1961, Jorge J. E. Gracia arrived in the USA at the age of nineteen without family and unable to speak English. Ten years later he was assistant professor of philosophy at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Over the next 50 years Gracia published dozens of books and hundreds of articles, making major contributions to numerous areas of philosophy: Latin American philosophy, race and ethnicity, Medieval philosophy, philosophical historiography, metaphysics and ontology, and theory of interpretation. This book is a critical response to Gracia’s work and a tribute to his legacy. It includes a comprehensive bibliography of Gracia’s philosophical works.
Forty short stories and essays have been selected as representative of the Argentine writer's metaphysical narratives.
BORGES' PAINTINGS: Paintings that tell storiesIn this book, Borges' Paintings, we take a fascinating journey through his poems and pictorial interpretation of myths, metaphors, and memories giving meaning to our history and culture. Employing the language of art and poetry, in this series of paintings, Borges examines the mythology and allegories defining our identity, character, and experiences in life. Various aspects of our existence dealing with morality, creativity, emotion, heroism, and tragedy are represented in these paintings of myths, landscapes, and still lifes, to convey the intended narrative from a region. A must reading for art lovers and in particular for those seeking to understand or discover, that paintings also tells stories. These are our stories.
