Trev Downey reads and then discusses The Gospel According To Mark by Jorge Luis Borges

Born from grief, exile, intellectual ferment and the ‘year without a summer', Frankenstein is a creation myth with its own creation myth. Mary Shelley's novel is a foundational work of science fiction, horror and trauma narrative, and continues to spark reinvention and reinterpretation. In their fourth conversation together, Adam Thirlwell and Marina Warner explore Shelley's treatment of birth, death, monstrosity and the limits of science. They discuss Frankenstein's philosophical and personal undercurrents, and how the creature and his creator have broken free from the book. Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from this episode.

Jorge Luis Borges nace en Buenos Aires el 24 de agosto de 1899 y muere en Ginebra el 14 de junio de 1986. Es un gran poeta, autor de relatos y magnífico ensayista. Es el autor de 'Historia universal de la infamia', 'Ficciones', 'El Aleph' y de poemarios como 'Fervor de Buenos Aires', 'El hacedor' o 'Los conjurados'.

Ambrose Bierce (1842 – ¿desaparecido en 1913?) fue un escritor, periodista y satirista estadounidense, conocido por su estilo mordaz, su visión pesimista de la naturaleza humana y su maestría en el relato corto. Es especialmente célebre por: "El diccionario del Diablo", Una obra satírica en la que redefine palabras comunes con sarcasmo e ironía. Ejemplos: Diplomacia: el arte de decir “buen perro” mientras se busca una piedra. Cerebro: aparato con el que pensamos que pensamos. Relatos de horror y guerra: Bierce fue un veterano de la Guerra Civil estadounidense, y muchas de sus historias reflejan el trauma, el absurdo y la brutalidad del conflicto. Entre sus cuentos más destacados están: “Un suceso en el puente sobre el río Owl”: una de las mejores narraciones cortas de la literatura estadounidense, con un sorprendente giro final. “Chickamauga”: un relato sobre la guerra visto desde la inocencia de un niño, que contrasta brutalmente con la realidad de la violencia. Bierce es considerado precursor del realismo psicológico y del horror moderno. Su escritura es aguda, precisa, a menudo sarcástica y con finales inesperados. Influenció a escritores como H. P. Lovecraft y Jorge Luis Borges. En 1913, Bierce viajó a México durante la Revolución Mexicana. Se unió (según se cree) a las fuerzas de Pancho Villa como observador, y nunca más se supo de él. Su desaparición alimentó leyendas y mitos.

Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986) fue un escritor, poeta, ensayista y bibliotecario argentino, considerado una de las figuras literarias más importantes del siglo XX. Su obra es fundamental en la literatura universal y se caracteriza por su erudición, su exploración de temas metafísicos, y el uso de laberintos, espejos, bibliotecas infinitas y realidades alternativas como símbolos recurrentes. Nacimiento: 24 de agosto de 1899, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Muerte: 14 de junio de 1986, Ginebra, Suiza. Obras destacadas: Ficciones (1944), El Aleph (1949), El hacedor (1960), Otras inquisiciones (1952). Su prosa es precisa y densa, con influencia de la filosofía, la teología, la literatura inglesa, alemana y oriental. Temas frecuentes: el infinito, el tiempo, la identidad, los sueños, los laberintos, los libros, la literatura como juego. Fue nombrado director de la Biblioteca Nacional de Argentina en 1955. Se quedó ciego progresivamente, como su padre, lo cual marcó profundamente su vida y su literatura. Nunca recibió el Premio Nobel de Literatura, lo cual sigue siendo tema de debate.

Daily QuoteI have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library. (Jorge Luis Borges)Poem of the Day夏夜何其芳Beauty WordsThe Widow and Her SonWashington Irving

No ensaio “El idioma analítico de John Wilkins”, Jorge Luis Borges aborda a estranha e utópica “linguagem filosófica” de Wilkins, calcada na denominação complexa de objetos do mundo. Para exemplificar a beleza e o absurdo de tal teoria da linguagem, Borges inventa/concebe/imagina uma obra clássica chinesa inexistente (mas que poderia existir), “Emporio celestial de conocimientos benévolos”, espécie de enciclopédia repleta de estranhas e inconcebíveis classificações. Pois, e essa é a conclusão do autor argentino, toda lista será arbitrária pois arbitrário é nosso universo: “notoriamente no hay clasificación del universo que no sea arbitraria y conjetural. La razón es muy simple: no sabemos qué cosa es el universo.” Assim, inauguramos nossa playlist de listas singulares, estranhas, assustadoras e impossíveis no canal RES FICTA.Lista das melhores heresias ficcionais (sem ordem de preferência):“O Evangelho segundo São Marcos”, Jorge Luis Borges, publicado em “O Informe de Brodie”, de 1970 (menções honrosas do mesmo autor: “A seita dos trinta” e “Os teólogos”).Os conspiradores em “O pêndulo de Foucault” de Umberto Eco (1988).Haçane Saba em “Alamut”, de Vladimir Bartol (1938).A heresia e a ortodoxia pela visão do protagonista em “The Dreams of Cardinal Vittorini”, de Reggie Oliver, publicado em “The Dreams of Cardinal Vittorini and Other Strange Stories”, de 2003-2012 (menção honrosa do mesmo autor: “The Sermons of Dr Hodnet”)A nova organização social em “Os clãs da Lua Alfa”, de Philip K.

Te invitamos a adentrarte en un bosque nocturno, un bosque habitado por la noche habitada, y rehabitada (ya lo entenderéis), aunque en esta ocasión, por nuestra familia animal, que son muchos individuos y de innumerables especies.Si hace unas semanas existíamos en el bosque de las plantas, gracias a la contemplación, inspiración, ciencia y prosa de Raúl de Tapia que es Raúl Alcanduerca, hoy cumplimos lo prometido, y regresamos con un encandilamiento tal, por lo que ocurre en la oscuridad de la naturaleza, a cielo abierto (o no tan abierto), que casi podríamos hablar de un fenómeno de física cuántica múltiple, (si no fuese porque las convivencias y presencias, no coinciden, a veces, por segundos y minutos, milagrosamente). La noche orquesta una danza de supervivencia, disfrute y trascendencia que sólo la más paciente de las contemplaciones científicas, curiosas y poéticas podría traducirse para este bosque. Estamos hablando del biólogo, botánico y escritor Raúl Alcanduerca.Además, como estamos en vísperas de la Noche de San Juan, no hemos podido evitar sumergirnos en el espíritu mágico, herbario, ancestral, terapéutico y divertido de una de las noches más sugerentes del año, una fecha que, en los almanaques antiguos, siglos atrás, debió ser fundamental y todo un referente por la llegada del solsticio de verano. Así que celebramos todo, la increíble vida nocturna, (tan desconocida para nosotros, pobres e ignorantes humanos), y celebramos también la fiesta a la que le debemos, (gracias a la pleitesía de una humilde plantita), todas nuestras verbenas. Y lo hacemos con Sigri Sandberg, Julio Llamazares, William Shakespeare, Jorge Luis Borges, Mircea Eliade e Ignacio Abella. Música de peculiar arrobamiento gracias a la banda sonora de la película “Ojos negros” de Nikita Mikhalkov, basada en historias de Anton Chekhov y compuesta por Francis Lai.

Nous sommes en 1941. Cette année-là est publié, à Buenos Aires, un recueil intitulé « El jardín de senderos que se bifurcan » (Le jardin aux sentiers qui bifurquent). L'ouvrage est signé Jorge Luis Borges qui, à l'époque, à quarante-deux ans. Parmi les textes proposés par l'auteur plusieurs fois nommé pour le prix Nobel de littérature, on retrouve « La bibliothèque de Babel ». L'Argentin y conçoit un univers où serait rassemblés tous les livres pouvant être produits par combinaison aléatoire des lettres d'un alphabet choisi. Ce fantasme d'une bibliothèque totale, contenant tous les savoirs de l'humanité, n'est pas neuf : on en trouve des sources chez certains philosophes de l'antiquité gréco-romaine, plus tard chez le philosophe allemand Leibniz ou chez les Encyclopédistes du siècle des Lumières. Borges, d'ailleurs, attribue la paternité du concept à l'un des pères de la psychologie expérimentale, Gustav Théodore Fechner. Quelle est, réellement, la valeur ajoutée d'un tel savoir ? La bibliothèque de Babel, parce qu'elle contient tout, n'est-elle pas parfaitement dénué de sens ? Internet, aujourd'hui, par sa volonté totalisante, en est-il l'effrayante réalisation ? Si toutes ces choses nous dépassent, tentons, malgré tout, de ne pas les ignorer … Avec nous : Jean-Louis Migeot, professeur d'acoustique à l'Université Libre de Bruxelles au conservatoire de Musique de Liège. Membre de la Classe Technologie et Société de l'Académie royale de Belgique. Auteur de « Dans la bibliothèque de Babel » ; éd. Académie royale de Belgique. sujets traités : bibliothèque, Babel, web, Jorge Luis Borges , littérature,,Gustav Théodore Fechner., encyclopédie, Antiquité, Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

Pete Townshend is the songwriter, guitarist and co-founder of The Who. The band first stormed the pop charts sixty years ago, with teenage anthems including I Can't Explain, Substitute and My Generation. Broader songwriting ambitions led him to create the rock opera Tommy in 1969, and the concept album Quadrophenia four years later. Both projects were adapted as films, and Quadrophenia has now been staged as a ballet by Sadlers Wells. Throughout the seventies, The Who were regarded as the biggest and loudest live act in the world. They played at Woodstock, at Live Aid, Live 8 and the 2012 Olympic closing ceremony. Despite the deaths of drummer Keith Moon and bassist John Entwhistle, Townshend and singer Roger Daltrey continue to perform as The Who. Pete Townshend talks to John Wilson about the influence of his parents, who were both musicians. His father, the saxophonist Cliff Townshend, played in the popular dance band The Squadronaires, but it was his mother Betty, a singer, who was most supportive of Pete's early musical talent. Seeing Bill Haley and The Comets at Edgware Road Odeon in 1956 was another formative moment that introduced the teenage Townshend to the possibilities of a rock 'n' roll performance. Pete also reveals how his art school tutor Roy Ascot, who was head of the Ground Course at Ealing Art School, shaped his his approach to his band that was to become The Who. He also recounts how reading Labyrinths, a book of short stories by Jorge Luis Borges on the first US Who tour in 1967 opened his imagination and helped him expand his musical storytelling.

In this episode, host Antonio Tijerino sits down with award-winning writer, filmmaker, and cultural storyteller Alberto Ferreras for an unforgettable conversation about art, identity, and the power of storytelling. From the groundbreaking Habla series to working with Madonna (yes, THE Madonna), Alberto reflects on the spiritual power of creativity, queer and immigrant narratives, and how art connects us all. Released as we kick off World Pride 2025 in Washington, D.C. next week, this episode is both celebration and call to unity. Tune in for laughs, wisdom, and a reminder that our stories are our strength. EPISODE RESOURCES:Read about Alberto's latest installation, "American Latinos 1935-1945", a multimedia project that includes an immersive video installation with more than 250 images of Hispanic-Americans, captured almost a century ago by some of the most influential photographers of the 20th century.

La Casa de Asterión fue publicado originalmente en 1947 en la revista Los Anales de Buenos Aires y, posteriormente, fue incluido en el libro El Aleph. Desde entonces ha sido motivo de múltiples interpretaciones filosóficas y literarias, pues Jorge Luis Borges, como siempre, nos deja más preguntas que respuestas y nos invita a mirar con otros ojos e incluso a sentir compasión por uno de los monstruos más temidos de la mitología clásica.

Matthias Politycki schreibt mit spitzer Feder. In seinem neuen Essay „Mann gegen Mann“ geht er der Frage nach, ob eine neue Männlichkeit gefragt sei. Dies im Angesicht von Gender-Debatten, virilen Politikern wie Putin und Trump und dem Ukraine-Krieg. Ist das Soldatische, das Männliche wieder ein Thema? Dieser Frage geht Politycki nach und beruft sich dabei auf Autoren wie Jorge Luis Borges und Ernest Hemingway. Rezension von Andreas Puff-Trojan

Episode #24 of Impact in the 21st Century features the legendary author, editor, and bibliophile Alberto Manguel. Alberto Manguel is the acclaimed author of A History of Reading, The Library at Night, and dozens of other works exploring literature, memory, and the profound human need for stories. A lifetime reader and former Director of the National Library of Argentina, Manguel has lived a life shaped by books—reading to Jorge Luis Borges as a teenager, curating libraries across continents, and writing deeply about the roles books play in our personal and collective lives. In this episode, Manguel offers a masterclass on the power of reading in shaping empathy, identity, and civilization itself. We explore: What it means to read deeply in a distracted age How libraries function as the “memory of humanity” Why stories hold the key to understanding ourselves and our societies His reflections on the current state—and future—of reading This is a timeless conversation for lovers of language, ideas, and the written word.  

Real Life Devon went full medieval this week with a trip to a Renaissance Fair—this one featuring permanent structures that actually looked “authentic” instead of slapped together by ye olde hot glue. There were swinging rides, wooden horses, and some legit jousting. Unfortunately, the real fantasy was thinking the kids would have fun. Big downer energy. Steven is gearing up for an Arizona trip but had to make a sudden detour into Best Buy territory after his TV gave up the ghost. On the plus side, Andor continues to be amazing and makes up for any consumer electronics woes. (It really is still that good.) Ben has seen Labyrinth (have you?), and he's here for the dream logic and David Bowie's entire vibe. Also thrown into the cinematic blender: The Island and Cliffhanger. We're now seeking out more films where geological or man-made features are basically the co-stars. Let us know if you have one. Oh, and Ben also saw the Slate all-electric pickup truck, which looked like something out of Black Mirror. Meanwhile, TVs just… work now? What a time to be alive. Future or Now Time for some spicy Star Wars takes. We got into it over which trilogy was better: the Prequels or the Sequels. Episode IX (The Rise of Skywalker) got roasted—Devon called it "the worst." Ben leaned sequel-side, arguing they're better than the prequels overall. The breakdown went something like: Prequels: bad films, good plots Sequels: good films, bad plots There were also complaints about Starkiller Base, which feels like someone said “What if Death Star, but more?” But then there's Andor, which everyone agrees is just pure excellence. So Star Wars can still be good when they let writers write. Our rankings for maximum judgment: Devon's list: The Phantom Menace, The Force Awakens, Rise of Skywalker, Attack of the Clones, The Last Jedi, Revenge of the Sith Ben's list: Rise of Skywalker, The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi Your move, Internet.

Real Life: Devon would like to make one thing clear: queso is fine. Queso is acceptable. Just… not on everything, okay? Some of us still want to taste the actual food under the goo. That said, he did just survive a kid's pool party, so maybe he's earned the right to eat whatever the hell he wants — even fake grass, which he claims is "for winners." We're choosing not to dig into that statement. Steven, meanwhile, embraced the full Force of May 4th with joy, lightsabers, and an animated binge of Tales of the Empire — now fully released and featuring everyone's favorite dead-or-maybe-not-dead villainess Asaaj Ventress and the cowboy space bug bounty hunter Cad Bane. Is she still canonically dead? Who knows anymore. The rule is: if you didn't see the body dissolve, they can always come back. Also, Steven's forge is officially up and running. That's right — he's now a blacksmith. We're still waiting to see if this is a long-term thing or just a midlife crisis in steel-toed boots. Over in The Last of Us land, Season 2 Episode 4 dropped, and fans collectively screamed, cried, and probably tweeted GIFs because one of the game's most beloved scenes finally made it to screen — and yes, they nailed it. In a good way. Not like a fungal-mutant-jaw-through-your-neck way. Ben went to a roller derby bout in Irvine (report: chaotic and excellent), wandered the capitalist labyrinth that is Daiso, and wants to remind you it's Teacher Appreciation Week. So tell a teacher they rock, preferably with coffee, snacks, or a handwritten note of pure gratitude. Future or Now Ben brought us Writing Tools, a sleek, free, open-source app created by a high school student in Bangalore (hi, Jesai!) that gives Mac, Windows, and Linux users a system-wide writing boost via AI. It fixes grammar, summarizes content, and even helps you rewrite your angsty emails into something that won't get you fired. Bonus points for working offline and being featured basically everywhere. Teachers, students, chaotic creatives — check it out on GitHub. This also led us down the rabbit hole: Are LLMs bad? Short answer: not inherently. Long answer: come back next week for a full debate, complete with Devon's skeptical eyebrows and Ben's tech optimism. Devon watched Mickey 17, and the verdict is… “eh?” He appreciated the weirdness but didn't feel like the weird ever came together in a satisfying way. Unlike Parasite, which he still recommends, Mickey 17 left him shrugging with existential confusion, which is not his preferred flavor of sci-fi. Steven hit us with some mouse science: researchers have engineered gut bacteria that can detoxify methylmercury in mice, even when those mice are on a diet of bluefin tuna. The mice — and their babies — showed fewer signs of mercury poisoning. This means your sushi habit may one day come with a side of helpful microbes. Until then, maybe cool it on the sashimi. Book Club:  This week, we read A Brief Dance to the Music of the Spheres by Michael Kurland (from The Best of Omni Science Fiction, 1983). It's a sleek, sharp short story that offers a fresh take on the Fermi Paradox: if there's intelligent life out there, why haven't we seen it? The story gives us a possible answer — one we won't spoil here, except to say it involves jazz, physics, and a little cosmic humility. You can read it on Archive.org or listen to the adaptation here. Next week: we're diving into Jorge Luis Borges' There Are More Things. Yes, it's a Borges horror story. Yes, we're terrified and delighted. Yes, Devon has thoughts.

On Easter Weekend, Jesus descended into Hades on Saturday, and thus, we went down into hell to face the Archons inside and outside our minds. Scott R. Jones leads us like a psychopomp, based on his book, Drill. Beyond understanding the control systems of our current simulation, which include fundamentalist religion and parental trauma, Scott provides High Weirdness advice that reminds us of the Gnosis of Philip K. Dick, William Burroughs, and Jorge Luis Borges. You are in danger, and those mind parasites are ready to drain your energetic body completely. Let's turn the tide right now with our innate magic.

En Deutsches Requiem, Borges se mete en la mente de Otto zur Linde, un nazi condenado tras la guerra que no se arrepiente ni pide perdón. Al contrario: se ve a sí mismo como un servidor de una causa moral superior. A través de este personaje, Borges no nos habla del mal como ignorancia o miedo, sino como convicción. Nos recuerda que algunos fanáticos están dispuestos a destruir el mundo no porque no sepan lo que hacen, sino porque creen que están haciendo lo correcto.https://linktr.ee/bibliotequeando

Fictions by Jorge Luis Borges (1944-1955) vs The Aleph by Jorge Luis Borges (1945)

In this episode we delve into one of the signature commercial and critical flops of New Hollywood: Dennis Hopper's The Last Movie. This gorgeous yet impenetrable film was a crucial turning point bridging the early hippie-influenced films of the late 60s with the more cynical and popular mainstream cinema that came to define the 1970s. We are joined by Stephen Lee Naish, author of two different books discussing this week's subject - Create or Die: Essays on the Films of Dennis Hopper, and Music and Sound in the Films of Dennis Hopper. So enjoy listening to someone actually qualified to talk about this stuff for a change! Topics include: American New Wave vs. New Hollywood, Jorge Luis Borges, and Charles Manson.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "Averröes' Search" which can be found in Collected Fictions. It focuses on the islamic philosopher's failure to determine the meanings of "comedy" and "tragedy" in his commentary on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. Even after seeing and hearing about several instances of something like drama, he remains unable to make the association between what Aristotle discusses in his work and dramatic play.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "The Zahir" which can be found in Collected Fictions. It focuses on the effect that the Zahir exerts on the Borges of the story. He received it as a coin given in change purchasing a brandy. He then deliberately loses it, and strives not to think about it, but eventually finds himself unable to escape it. As it begins to lead him into thinking more and more about it and the many associations it inspires, he learns that the Zahir appears in many places and times as different objects.

It focuses on how the Borges of the story ends up getting the Zahir as a bit of change when drinking brandy after the wake of the socialite Teodelina. As a coin, it provokes some reflections upon money, interchangeability, and coins on Borges' part.

It centers on a sorcerer who has the desire to dream another human being into reality, which he does at the abandoned temple of the fire-god.

David and Tamler crawl up a riverbank, kiss the mud, and dream a discussion of Borges' “The Circular Ruins.” We sort through various interpretations and allusions, the story as a metaphor for artistic creation, gnostic cosmology, solipsism, eternal recursion, and the unstable boundary between reality and illusion. How does Borges fit all of this and much more in a 5 page story? Plus, Scientific American endorses Kamala Harris – is that a big deal? We look at a study purporting to show that Nature's Biden endorsement eroded trust in science among Trump supporters. Political endorsement by Nature and trust in scientific expertise during COVID-19 [nature.com] The Circular Ruins by Jorge Luis Borges [wikipedia.org]
