¿Te intimida empezar a leer a Jorge Luis Borges?

Debates about AI typically deal with its immediate material consequences, from cybersecurity and infrastructure to plagiarism and copyright. Yet most people deal with AI as a generative consumer product that raises longer-term questions about its cultural effects on American society, human art, and ultimately, our souls. What is the role of the artist, for example, when a bot can crank out the same thing more quickly and efficiently?To help answer that question, as we continue Season 6, I have as our guest the playwright, novelist, and essayist Matthew Gasda. The author of the novels The Sleepers (2025) and Stranger Beauty (2026), he has written, produced, and directed over thirty plays, including Dimes Square, Zoomers, and Doomers, with his former production company, The Center for Theatre Research.Today, drawing on his upcoming book, Futurepast (Encounter Books 2026), alongside Stranger Beauty, his many essays on culture and technology, as well as his Ted Talk about training an LLM on his own works, we discuss the future of the creative arts in the AI age.We also touch upon the paradoxes of Jorge-Luis Borges, Harold Bloom's literary criticism, what is different about large language models, why Kafka felt older than his predecessors, the mysteries of poetic inspiration and of the soul, what hosting live theater was like during the pandemic, the possibility of secular monasteries, how to use AI as a competitor to root out artistic complacency, and the unpredictable prospects for cultural renewal.Hosted by Ryan Shinkel, Madison's Notes is the podcast of Princeton University's James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions.

Author Salman Rushdie reflects on the “second act” he nearly didn't get: surviving the 2022 attempt on his life, reclaiming his life and returning to fiction. He discusses the new documentary "Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie," how the attack changed his writing and his relationship to mortality, and why his creative process has become more improvisational with age.Rushdie also reflects on Jorge Luis Borges, blindness and finding “another way of seeing”; Iran's decades-old fatwa against him; Palestinian statehood; and the rise of Hindu nationalism in Narendra Modi's India. Twenty-five years after 9/11, he considers the persistence of religious extremism, the fight for free speech in America and what he ultimately hopes will define his legacy: not the controversies or attacks, but the books he leaves behind.Support for Firing Line with Margaret Hoover is provided by Robert Granieri, Vanessa and Henry Cornell, The Margaret and Daniel Loeb Foundation, The Beth and Ravenel Curry Foundation, The Meadowlark Foundation, The Philip I Kent Foundation, Anne & Edward Lamont, and Jared Stone.

The latest zero budget "IT" horror, is really neither the horror or comedy it's tagged as. Rather this four friends on a road trip to hell movie is an existential meditation on the search for meaning to life, along the extended metaphor of an endless road. It's closer to something like Jorge Luis Borges short story, The Library of Babel.

Många är de som har gjort utläggningar om Jorge Luis Borges författarskap. När en stor del av hans verk nu samlas på svenska har Niklas Qvarnström beslutat sig för att absolut inte bli en av dem. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Essän sändes första gången den 7 mars 2018. Berättaren är noga med att tassa ut på tå ur sjukrummet. Angelägen om att göra så få rörelser som möjligt för att inte ytterligare belasta medvetandet hos mannen som ligger i bädden. Mannen som inte kan glömma. Vars minne är ett ofyllbart tråg, i vilken allt han hör och ser, allt han upplever och någonsin har upplevt; allt han tänkt och sagt och känt doften eller stanken av, men också allt han försökt glömma och redan tidigare lagt på minnet, får plats. Tar plats. Ett expanderande tråg, med egenskaper som fysikens krökta rum. Jag skulle kunna nämna att han inte rörde spriten, men tyckte mycket om varm choklad Berättaren skulle helst göra sig osynlig. Omemorerbar. Smärtsamt medveten om att mannen i bädden är en fånge i sitt eget minnespalats, där han irrar omkring som ett spöke i serveringsgångar till och från kök och matsalar och bibliotek. I korridorer av minnen av minnen av minnen. Varenda måltid han någonsin ätit, varenda stavelse han läst. Minnen som reproducerar sig i det oändliga som mellan motställda speglar, med tunneleffekter som, allteftersom hur speglarna vinklas, får gångarna att kränga hit och dit. Återigen: som krökta rum. Jag återger slutscenen av berättelsen ur minnet. Lyckligtvis är det ofullständigt, och min återgivning utan tvivel full av felaktigheter. I en annan historia av samme författare hälsas glömskans välsignelse när dess berättare – som, det nämns i förbigående, heter Borges – till sin lättnad kan konstatera att han inte längre känner igen alla ansikten han ser på gatan. Jag borde inte prata om den berättelsen. Den står inte att läsa i den volym som legat på mitt skrivbord i månader. Svart som kabastenen i Mecca. Författaren återvänder gärna till kabastenen i Mecca. Han återvänder gärna till olika oändlighetsprinciper. Till krängande serveringsgångar mellan kök och matsalar och bibliotek, där hans läsare och forskare och uttydare irrar omkring som spöken mellan motställda speglar. Yra i huvudet. Ett expanderande hotell, av allt att döma, ungefär som minnet hos mannen i sjukbädden som ingenting kan glömma. Speglar, står det inom parantes sagt på ett annat ställe, citerat ur en encyklopedi i ett uppslag om en värld där endast det någon tänker kan äga rum; speglar har den förfärliga egenskapen gemensamt med samlag att de ökar människornas antal. Korridorerna blir längre och längre som i alla den teoretiska fysikens och högre matematikens lustiga hus. Ett sådant lustigt hus kallas Hilberts Hotell, efter den tyske matematikern David Hilbert. På hans hotell finns det alltid plats, trots att det är fullbelagt. I den mest berömda versionen av exemplet vill en prinsessa boka in sig för natten. Receptionisten löser det genom att låta gästen i rum 1 flytta till rum 2, gästen i rum 2 till rum 3 och så vidare i all oändlighet. Ett expanderande hotell, av allt att döma, ungefär som minnet hos mannen i sjukbädden som ingenting kan glömma. Funes heter han. ”Funes med det goda minnet.” Berättelsen om honom börjar på sidan 419 i den svarta volymen på mitt skrivbord. Den luktar fukt, eftersom den nyligen legat på nattygsbordet i ett underkylt rum på ett hotell, där det alltid verkade finnas plats för en gäst till. Det låg i en sydeuropeisk stad, men när jag vaknade på nätterna kunde jag ha svurit på att jag var i Buenos Aires. Ute i korridoren hörde jag en berusad osynlig granne varva obegripliga otidigheter med korta stycken ur olika milongas – eller snarare korta stycken ur samma milonga. I gryningen låg mannen död i korridoren. Nej, det gjorde han inte. Det var bara som jag drömde, efter att ha läst exakt den meningen kvällen före – på sidan 356 i den svarta volymen på nattygsbordet. 1923-1944 står det på omslaget. De första tjugoett åren i författarens bana. En till synes rät linje, längs vilken så många filosofer gått vilse att en enkel läsare mycket väl kan tappa bort sig där. I ”Döden och kompassen”, på sidan 454 i den svarta volymen, är den räta linjen en labyrint – och läsaren en detektiv. Men jag vill inte prata om det. Jag vill inte ytterligare belasta det allmänna medvetandet med ännu en katalog av uppräknade motiv och teman, av nygamla perspektiv på ett och samma svindlade författarskap. Kataloger av litterär memorabilia, som kommer i ständigt nya och utökade upplagor. Jag vill gå varsamt fram, smärtsamt medveten om att vi alla är fångar i de runda ruinerna efter ett minnespalats, och skulle kunna ägna oss åt arkeologiska utgrävningar bland resterna tills vi får kroniskt ryggskott. Angelägen om att inte mer än nödvändigt fresta på det kollektiva minnet, som med Funes i hans sjukbädd. Hur fullt det än är finns det alltid plats för mer. Jag vill överhuvudtaget inte prata om Jorge Luis Borges. Inte om att han dog den fjortonde juni 1986 i Genève, blind men klarsynt enligt uppgift, efter att ha fötts den tjugofjärde augusti 1899 i Buenos Aires: den stad han mutat in och befolkat med tankespöken som fortfarande leker tafatt på Recoleta-kyrkogården, i irrande sökan efter en gravsten som verkar saknas där. Jag tänker inte citera att han var nöjd över att ha fötts på 1800-talet, som han var mycket förtjust i: även om han kunde säga till dess nackdel att det ledde till 1900-talet. Jag vägrar. Jag tänker inte säga ett ord om hans ojämförliga verk – som det å andra sidan är beklämmande lätt att jämföra hans efterföljare med, till deras ständiga nackdel. Den som numera skriver ”labyrint” eller ”dröm i drömmen” eller till och med ”spegel” och ”korridor”, är dömd till upprepning – som i en drömskt labyrintisk korridor behängd med speglar. Dömd att bli förföljd av efterhängsna citattecken, som klistrar sig fast vid glosorna som våta höstlöv. Som om han var först i världshistorien med motiv som är mycket äldre än gatan. Gamla som stranden under asfalten, och lika följsamt formbara. Jag skulle kunna göra en oproportionerligt stor sak av att Malmö förekommer i inte mindre än två av hans noveller Till och med äldre litteratur kan ha något Borges-aktigt över sig – som Hypnerotomachia Polophili, kanske skriven av Fransesco Colonna och tryckt 1499 i Venedig, eller de anonyma Rosencreutzar-manifesten från början av 1600-talet; den spanske Barockdiktaren Calderons drama Livet en dröm från 1635 eller Alice i Spegellandet av Lewis Carroll. Samtidens, och i förlängningen framtidens, påverkan på det förflutna var ett favoritämne för författaren till den fiktiva bokrecensionen med titeln ”Pierre Menard, författare till Don Quijote”, från 1939. Men det tänker jag inte yttra ett ord om. Jag skulle kunna nämna att han inte rörde spriten, men tyckte mycket om varm choklad – som Lasse Söderberg, en av Borges svenska översättare, kan intyga. Jag skulle kunna göra en oproportionerligt stor sak av att Malmö förekommer i inte mindre än två av hans noveller: ”Emma Zunz” och ”Tre versioner av Judas”, och hur det fördunklat gatubilden i närheten av Fersens bro. Det vore åtminstone rätt så obruten mark att dröja vid hans lika skira som robusta ungdomspoesi från tjugotalet, som inleder den svarta fuktstinna volymen på mitt skrivbord. Men jag väljer att avstå från det också. Det skulle bara bli fel. Däremot skulle jag gärna dela med mig av något som hände på en bar i Lissabon för tio eller tolv år sedan. Jag träffade en gammal argentinsk sjöman. ”Jag ska berätta en hemlighet om Borges”, viskade han. Och han höll vad han lovat. ”Är det sant?”, frågade jag. Han lade upp sin ena hand på bardisken och sa: ”Avgör själv!” Ingen rysning jag förr eller senare upplevt kan mäta sig med den jag kände då. Den dröjer fortfarande kvar i ryggslutet på mig, och framkallar bilden av en orm som lyckats svälja ner sig själv hel och hållen. Det skulle jag mer än gärna prata om.

¡Llegaron los Cuartos de Final y el Mundial nos regala unpartidazo de alto vuelo intelectual! Este sábado se enfrentan Argentina contra Suiza en un duelo que promete estrategia, elegancia y momentos de puro genio. Y en nuestro campo literario, preparamos un enfrentamientode mentes prodigiosas, un choque entre dos formas magistrales de entender la realidad, el poder y la identidad: Por Argentina, el gigante universal Jorge Luis Borges y sulibro fundamental “Ficciones”, con especial atención a uno de sus cuentos más perturbadores y perfectos: “La lotería en Babilonia”. Por Suiza, el inclasificable y genial Robert Walser, con sunovela “Jakob von Gunten”. Dos obras que siguen deslumbrando, desafiando y transformando a quien se atreve a leerlas. En Jakob von Gunten de Robert Walser (Suiza),el protagonista se inscribe en el Instituto Benjamenta, una escuela absurdamente consagrada a enseñar a los jóvenes a convertirse en sirvientes perfectos y anónimos. Este elogio del desapego y la sumisión burocrática dialoga con relatos de Jorge Luis Borges (Argentina) en Ficciones (como La lotería en Babilonia) o con El comité de Sonallah Ibrahim de Egipto. Borges construye burocracias infinitas y laberintos lógicosque anulan el libre albedrío del ser humano de la misma forma en que Walser desarmó las instituciones de su época.Jorge Luis Borges, en “Ficciones” (1944), entrega una de lascolecciones de cuentos más influyentes de toda la literatura del siglo XX. Con una prosa cristalina, erudita y profundamente filosófica, Borges inventa bibliotecas infinitas, espejos que multiplican realidades y mundos donde la ficción y la realidad se devoran mutuamente. En “La lotería en Babilonia”, construye una sociedad total donde una lotería secreta y omnipotente decide absolutamente todo: desde el destino de las personas hasta los detalles más insignificantes de la vida diaria. Es un relato genial sobre el azar, el poder absoluto, el control y la imposibilidad de distinguir entre el orden y el caos.Este cuento, junto con el resto de “Ficciones”, anticipó temas de la posmodernidad, la cibernética y hasta la teoría del caos. Borges no solo cuenta historias: crea sistemas filosóficos completos en pocas páginas. Robert Walser, por su parte, escribió “Jakob von Gunten”(1909), una de las novelas más extrañas y fascinantes de la literatura europea.Narra la experiencia de un joven que ingresa a un Instituto Benjamenta para formarse como sirviente, un lugar donde se enseña humildad extrema, obediencia y desaparición del yo. Con una prosa hipnótica, ligera y profundamente onírica,Walser explora la renuncia, la identidad, el servilismo voluntario y la belleza de lo insignificante. Franz Kafka admiraba profundamente a Walser, y esta novela anticipa muchos de los temas del absurdo y la alienación del siglo XX.Es una obra sutil, irónica y revolucionaria en su aparente modestia. Uno construye laberintos intelectuales infinitos y juega conel destino como un dios literario. El otro se sumerge en la renuncia total y encuentra poesía en la humillación y el olvido. Argentina y Suiza. Borges y Walser. Dos formas opuestas ycomplementarias de mirar el mundo: la vastedad del universo borgesiano contra la profundidad del pequeño detalle walseriano. ¿Quién se llevará la victoria en este duelo literario de cuartos de final? ¿La mente laberíntica y universal de Jorge Luis Borges o la sensibilidad onírica y radical de Robert Walser? Esto promete ser un partido inolvidable, tanto en la canchacomo en las páginas.

Jorge Luis Borges (1899 – 1986) fue un escritor, poeta, ensayista y bibliotecario argentino, considerado una de las figuras más influyentes de la literatura del siglo XX. Nacimiento: 24 de agosto de 1899 en Buenos Aires, Argentina. Desde joven estuvo en contacto con la literatura gracias a su familia; su padre era profesor y le inculcó el amor por los libros. En 1914 se trasladó a Ginebra, Suiza, donde estudió el bachillerato y conoció a autores de las vanguardias europeas. Luego vivió en España, relacionándose con el ultraísmo. Regresó a Buenos Aires en 1921 y comenzó a publicar poesía y ensayos en revistas literarias. Con el tiempo su obra se orientó hacia la narrativa breve y el ensayo filosófico-literario. En 1955 fue nombrado director de la Biblioteca Nacional de Argentina. Con los años padeció ceguera progresiva, lo que marcó profundamente su estilo literario. Falleció el 14 de junio de 1986 en Ginebra, Suiza. Borges se destacó especialmente por el cuento corto y el ensayo, donde fusionó erudición, imaginación y paradojas filosóficas. Sus temas recurrentes incluyen:El infinito y los laberintos.El tiempo y la eternidad.La identidad y el doble.La relación entre realidad y ficción.La literatura como un universo dentro de otro universo. Obras destacadas:Ficciones (1944)El Aleph (1949)Historia universal de la infamia (1935)El hacedor (1960)Inquisiciones (1925)Otras inquisiciones (1952). Aunque nunca recibió el Premio Nobel de Literatura (algo que generó mucha controversia), Borges fue honrado con numerosos premios internacionales y sigue siendo una de las figuras centrales de la literatura en español.

Yurko Pokalchuk, conocido como Pako (1941–2008), fue el primer traductor de autores como los argentinos Jorge Luis Borges o Julio Cortázar al ucraniano. Un amante de la literatura latinoamericana que como traductor, escritor y músico fue también una de las principales figuras de la cultura ucraniana. Aunque vivió gran parte de su vida en ciudades como Kiev o París, su lugar de origen es Lutsk, al oeste del país. Allí un grupo de activistas e intelectuales han puesto en marcha un proyecto para recuperar su casa natal y convertirla en una residencia artística. Se llamará Casa Pako.

What if time isn't something you move through, but something consciousness creates through perspective? In this mind-expanding Dead Talk, Henri Bergson and Jorge Luis Borges reveal why memory is alive, why inspiration may be the voice of future possibility, and why true freedom is never found by changing circumstances—it emerges by expanding awareness until new realities become visible. This conversation offers one of the deepest explorations yet of time, manifestation, and the creative power of perspective.

Have you ever felt like you needed to leave part of yourself at the door to fit the room?Maybe it's your culture.Maybe it's your background.Maybe it's the way you think, solve problems, or see the world.Here's the truth: every time you filter your perspective to fit the dominant way of thinking, you don't just lose part of your identity, you lose one of your greatest leadership advantages.In this episode, Fernanda explores why the strongest leaders aren't simply exposed to more information. They're exposed to more frameworks.Culture is one of the most powerful ways we develop new frameworks, but it's not the only one. Different professions, industries, generations, life experiences, languages, and ways of thinking all shape how our brains process complexity. The more diverse the frameworks we can genuinely hold, the better we become at solving the kinds of problems modern leadership demands.Using neuroscience, leadership research, and stories ranging from Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance to Jorge Luis Borges, Fernanda unpacks why diverse frameworks, not just diverse opinions, create better thinking, better decisions, and better leadership.If you've ever felt like your perspective doesn't quite fit...If you've lived between different worlds...Or if you're leading teams where everyone seems to think the same way...This episode will change how you think about diversity, and why your unique way of seeing the world may be your greatest strategic advantage.In this episode you'll learn:Why diversity of frameworks mattersHow culture, language, profession, and lived experience shape the brainThe neuroscience behind cognitive flexibility and better decision-makingWhy homogeneous teams develop invisible blind spotsHow psychological safety unlocks the value of different perspectivesWhy your unique way of thinking is a leadership advantage, not something to minimisePractical ways to deliberately build more cognitive diversity into your leadership and your teamThis week, ask yourself:Where are you translating your thinking to fit the room instead of bringing your full perspective to it?Your greatest leadership advantage may not be knowing more.It may be seeing the world through a framework that no one else in the room does.Your Next Steps:Watch the Free MasterclassIf success still feels heavier than it should… this masterclass will help you understand why.Watch The Rewired Method™ in action How we help women executives end burnout and build sustainable success in less than 90 days...I recorded a step-by-step training for you here: The Sustainable Success Plan for Executive Women LeadersExplore The Rewired Woman™https://therewiredwoman.com/Follow on InstagramConnect on LinkedInCorporate Partnerships & Leadership Programshttps://rewiredglobal.com/corporates/

Conmemoramos los cuarenta años del fallecimiento del maestro Borges con uno de sus relatos más emblemáticos y evocadores, La Biblioteca de Babel. "Que el cielo exista aunque mi lugar sea el infierno, que yo sea ultrajado y aniquilado, pero que en un instante, en un ser, tu enorme biblioteca, se justifique." Esperamos que esta reedición esté a la altura de nuestra primera adaptación con la que tantas buenas gentes nos descubrieron. Larga vida al legado del maestro Borges.

Pio Abad talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Abad explores objects and images that have personal resonance and political potency. His primary medium is installations comprising multiple materials, forms and methods, from fine pen drawings and textiles to photography and text. The foundation of his work is an engagement with the history and present of his homeland, the Philippines, where he was born in 1983, and where his parents were involved in the struggle against the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos in the 1970s and 1980s. The conditions of that brutal regime, its propaganda and visual excess, the international power structures of which it was part, and its legacies today have been fundamental to his practice. In recent years, he has expanded his work to explore broader themes relating to collections of art and artefacts, and the histories of violence, theft and exploitation that underpin them.He discusses his interest in the seductive power of objects in telling complex stories and reflects on the importance of writing and drawing to his work, how his large-scale forensic drawings are a means of “excessively remembering” to counter forgotten histories, and about honouring unnamed artists from non-Western cultures through painstaking depicting their works. He recalls his memories of his aunt, the artist Pacita Abad, and her formative effect on his own artistic trajectory, as well as his position as curator of her estate. He reflects on the importance of Felix Gonzalez-Torres, especially in his balance between weighty subject matter and formal economy, the drawings of Henri Michaux and Egon Schiele, and the writers Jorge Luis Borges, Hisham Matar and Teju Cole. He gives insight into his life in the studio and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Look out for a video version of this interview on the YouTube channels of The Art Newspaper and Bloomberg Connects.Pio Abad, In Minor Keys: 61st Venice Biennale, Venice, Italy, until 22 November.

What if nothing in your life is random—and everything is speaking to you? In this episode, Christy brings through William Blake and Jorge Luis Borges who reveal to us the hidden, symbolic nature of reality. Reality is not literal. It's symbolic. The patterns you notice… the synchronicities you can't explain… the moments that feel meaningful for no reason… aren't coincidences. They're part of a deeper language—one you've been interacting with your entire life. Why does this matter now? Because more and more of us are beginning to sense there's something beyond the surface of reality—but we've never been taught how to see it. This episode opens that door. If you've been noticing signs, questioning what's real, or feeling like something is trying to get your attention…You may never look at your life the same way again.

1) Vida: En estos días me tocó visitar a un muchacho y a una muchacha cuadripléjicos y aprendí muchísimo de esta conversación, lo cual me llevó a cuestionarme muchas cosas. Me cuestioné sobre los límites humanos. Conocer personas me lleva a ver que hay gente capaz de derrotar dos frases demoledoras que tanto escuchamos: “Tú no eres” y “Tú no puedes”. Cuando veo a Carlos con ELA o a Marcela cuadripléjica digo “Sí eres” y “Sí puedes”. Pese a haber sido consideradas como personas con discapacidad (para mí es mejor decir “con capacidades diferentes”), me demuestran que de lo ordinario tratan de hacer lo extraordinario. Sus vidas son una prueba viviente de que la falta de validación externa no tiene nada que hacer, cuando la validación interna, el amor propio y la voluntad son de hierro. Lo cual deja ver que la discapacidad y la limitación muchas veces no están en el cuerpo y en la mente sino en aquellos que miran sin comprender, pero juzgando duramente. Esas personas sí que no tienen vida.2) Lobo: Hay gente que solo busca herir y lastimar, por eso, la mejor venganza es no ser como la persona que te hirió. Porque la gente débil espiritualmente busca venganza intentando herir sin controlarse y atacando despiadadamente, porque no controla sus emociones. Es lo que hace a esa persona como un lobo, ya que solo busca presas, más que compañía. Séneca dijo “No se le puede devolver la mordida a un perro”. Uno debe comprender la naturaleza de quien te ataca y elegir un camino que preserve tu virtud y tu integridad.3) Recobrarla: Lo normal es una ilusión. Lo que es normal para una araña, es anormal para un mosquito, decía la famosa Morticia de los Locos Adams. Lo que es normal para uno, puede que no sea normal para otros. El problema es cuando se cree que si se es diferente es malo. Entonces tendríamos que reformular la normalidad. Jorge Luis Borges decía “Pensar, analizar e inventar, no son actos anómalos, son la normal respiración de la inteligencia”. La variación y el cambio es lo común en los seres humanos. Entonces no estés mirando todo el tiempo lo que te molesta del otro. Hasta medimos normalidad por si es o no adaptado a lo social, y de ahí viene el término de adaptado o inadaptado. Acordate que la sociedad estigmatiza lo que se sale de la norma, a veces la Iglesia también. Por eso, recobrar tu vida es saberte aceptar como sos y ser normal como crees que sos, porque hay un Padre Dios que te ama como eres. Algo bueno está por venir.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's essay "The Analytical Language Of John Wilkins" which can be found in his collection Other Inquisitions. It explains the idea behind this rather utopian scheme to remodel language along completely rational and systematic lines in his work An Essay towards a Real Character and a Philosophical Language . He also compares Wilkins' project with a classification listing of animals in a fictional "Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge", and with a classification scheme of the Bibliographical Institute of Brussels. As a side-note, Michel Foucault famously incorporated and commented on Borges' fictional list of animals in his work The Order Of Things.

In this episode, Phil and JF discuss Haruki Murakami's “Cream,” from First Person Singular, alongside Jorge Luis Borges's classic tale, “The Garden of Forking Paths.” Together, these two stories occasion a meditation on time, perplexity, and the strange possibility that meaning isn't found at the end of the maze, but discovered only in the course of wandering it.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's essay "The Enigma Of Edward FitzGerald" which can be found in his collection Other Inquisitions It discusses the polymath Omar Khayyám, who among other contributions in multiple fields, authored a number of quatrains, many centuries later loosely translated and arranged by the English poet Edward FitzGerald into a book known as the The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Borges advances the idea that the poet of that Rubaiyat is in a sense both of them, and neither Omar nor Edward.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "The Immortal" which can be found in Collected Fictions. It focuses on on the last parts of the story, after the narrator has found the city of the immortals and become an immortal himself. As it turns out, immortality is not everything mortals lacking it imagine it to be, and the meaning of the endless life they enjoy gets diminished.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "The Immortal" which can be found in Collected Fictions. It focuses on the first portion of the narrative, in which the narrator relates a story about finding out about a river that grants immortality and a city where the immortals are reputed to live. He leads an expedition to try to find the city, and ultimately succeeds, but the city, accessed via a labyrinth, turns out to be quite different than expected. He also finds who the immortals are, and ends up joining them.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "Borges and I" which can be found in Collected Fictions. Borges writes about and contrasts himself against the "other Borges", the one who does the writing and to whom things happen. Borges and the other Borges share much in common and are intimately connected, but not in ways that Borges is particularly happy about.
