Finally, we tackle this GIANT of South American Literature. "The Aleph" is smart (obviously) but also self-deprecating, ultra-rich and HILARIOUS. The man's a genius. The story is genius. Indulge now and feel--in just 80 minutes--a little smarter.
Juan Manuel de Prada analiza el lado más oscuro de Jorge Luis Borges.
BIBLIOTECA SUBMERSA é a nova série de episódios do Podcast da Raphus Press, uma ironia bastante séria com o conceito de canônico e marginal, de popular e elitista, de aceito e não aceito, a partir das obras de autores que, aparentemente, tinham alguma influência (ou relevância) de certas obras ou autores no passado e que, hoje, parecem ausentes das livrarias, cadernos culturais, canais de vídeo na Internet. Nossa inspiração é Jorge Luis Borges e uma conhecida citação de Virginia Woolf: “Livros usados são selvagens, destituídos; surgem em grandes bandos de penas variadas e possuem certo encanto que falta aos volumes domesticados de uma biblioteca.”Episódio de hoje: Sutilezas visionárias (“The Dream-God”, de John Cunningham)Obras citadas: “The Dream-God, or A Singular Evolvement of Thought in Sleep”, John Cunningham (Black Letter Press, 2023); “The Pale Ape and Other Pulses”, M.

Juan Manuel de Prada analiza “El Aleph” de Jorge Luis Borges y las luces y sombras del autor argentino.
Nacida en Valladolid en 1898, Rosa Chacel es una autora fundamental de la Generación del 27, reconocida tardíamente como afín al movimiento de las Sinsombrero. Sobrina nieta de José Zorrilla, fue educada en casa antes de acudir a Madrid para estudiar Bellas Artes. Vivió en Roma desde 1922 junto a su marido, el pintor Timoteo Pérez Rubio. El exilio durante la Guerra Civil lo pasó entre París, Río de Janeiro, Buenos Aires y Nueva York, donde disfrutó de una beca de la Fundación Guggenheim. En Argentina colaboró con la revista 'Sur' junto a Jorge Luis Borges y publicó obras como 'Memorias de Leticia Valle' o 'La sinrazón', su novela más destacada. A su regreso a España vio la luz 'Barrio de Maravillas' y 'Alcancía'. Falleció en Madrid en 1994.Este documental sonoro, con guion de Lara López y realización de Samuel Alarcón, rescata el legado de la escritora vallisoletana a través de su propia voz, conservada en el Archivo RTVE. Colaboran en el programa su biógrafa, Anna Caballé, autora de 'Íntima Atlántida. Vida de Rosa Chacel (1898-1994)'; y la poeta y ensayista Elena Medel, responsable del prólogo y el aparato crítico de la nueva edición de 'Diarios', que unifica los tres volúmenes originales de 'Alcancía': 'Ida', 'Vuelta' y 'Estación Termini'. El recorrido se completa con una selección de textos dramatizados y fragmentos de entrevistas realizadas por Jesús Quintero, Lalo Azcona, Elvira Huelbes y Luis Antonio de Villena.Escuchar audio

El escritor y periodista Fidel Moreno nos habla de El hombre equivocado en el momento oportuno (Ed. Pre-Textos), su primer poemario como tal, que es abono para el pensamiento crítico, el derecho a la duda y a la contradicción. Luego, Ignacio Elguero se asoma a los escaparates para recomendarnos varios libros: Albión (Ed. Libros del Asteroide), novela de la británica Anna Hope sobre la herencia y los privilegios de clase, Jorge Luis Borges. Un destino literario (Ed. Cátedra), biografía en la que el profesor Lucas Adur reinterpreta algunos episodios de la vida del escritor argentino a partir de los últimos documentos encontrados y A sangre y fuego. Héroes, bestias y mártires de España (Ed. Plataforma), reedición de la célebre colección de cuentos que Manuel Chaves Nogales escribió basándose en historias reales de la guerra civil española.Además, Javier Lostalé nos lee unos versos de En la hondura del tiempo, volumen que recoge treinta y siete poemas de la muy laureada escritora mexicana Coral Bracho en una cuidada edición de La Colección Péñola Blanca de la Fundación César Manrique.En su sección, Sergio C. Fanjul pone sobre la mesa Orfidal y Caballero (Ed. Arpa), libro en el que Ángeles Caballero baraja textos de corte periodístico con apuntes del natural, anécdotas de la vida e impresiones de todo tipo en las que saca partido a su ojo para el detalle y su desparpajo habitual.Terminamos el programa en compañía de Mariano Peyrou, que hoy pasa olímpicamente de las novedades para proponernos las obras de dos escritoras en neerlandés: la holandesa Albertina Soepboer, a la que leemos en una traducción del propio Peyrou, y la belga Charlotte van de Broek, de la que la editorial De Conatus publicó su libro Camaleón.Escuchar audio
Mauro Francesco Minervino"Le strade, la vita"Storie, luoghi, antropologieScholéwww.morcelliana.netLa strada, spazio fondativo dell'esperienza umana e luogo materiale e simbolico, è analizzata in queste pagine come un grande dispositivo di relazione e di spaesamento, intrecciando diverse prospettive. Innanzitutto la storia: dalle vie dell'antichità alle autostrade della modernità, dai cammini dei pellegrini alle rotte digitali. Poi, il confronto con autori come Jack Kerouac, Jorge Luis Borges, Elsa Morante, Pier Vittorio Tondelli, James G. Ballard, Albert Camus, Italo Calvino e con capolavori del cinema come La strada di Federico Fellini e Il sorpasso di Dino Risi permette di comprendere le trasformazioni e le tensioni legate alla mobilità nella contemporaneità.Infine, seguendo la traccia del pensiero di Marc Augé e degli studi dedicati alla strada in ambito etnografico e antropologico, questo libro – anche grazie alla originale impostazione che abbina il rigore scientifico del saggio all'attenzione al racconto e al dettaglio narrativo – propone una rilettura critica e inedita della strada nell'epoca della postmodernità e delle sue complesse implicazioni culturali, esistenziali e sociali.«Con sempre maggiore invadenza materiale e discorsiva, con altrettanta crescente ridondanza tecnologica e digitale, la presenza della strada si impone oggi inarrestabilmente nelle nostre esistenze individuali e collettive. E ciò accade ben oltre le pretese di dominio, separazione e controllo imposte artificialmente da muri e confini, reali o immaginari».Mauro Francesco Minervino è professore di Antropologia Culturale, Etnologia, Sociologia dei Nuovi Media presso le Accademie di Belle Arti di Catanzaro e Bari. Tra le sue pubblicazioni: In fondo a Sud (Philobiblon, 2005, con prefazione di Marc Augé); Statale 18 (Fandango, 2010); Stradario di uno spaesato (Melville, 2016). Ha tradotto e curato il volume di George Gissing, Verso il Mar Ionio. Il Sud di un vittoriano (Exòrma, 2023). Nel 2014 gli è stato conferito il Premio Internazionale di Filosofia Karl-Otto Apel. È autore di programmi RAI e collaboratore ed editorialista del «Corriere della Sera».Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Jorge Luis Borges called her the “Tolstoy of Mexico” and César Aira the “greatest novelist of the 20th century,” so why is it likely that you haven't read or even heard of Elena Garro before now? And given that Garro was, like her fantastical stories, not beholden to the truth when accounting her own life, […] The post Jazmina Barrera : The Queen of Swords appeared first on Tin House.

(kurtluchs.com) About our guest: Kurt Luchs was born in Cheektowaga, New York, grew up in Wheaton, Illinois, and has lived and worked all over the United States, mostly in publishing and media. Currently he's based in Kalamazoo, Michigan. His first poetry publication came at age sixteen in the long-gone journal Epos, right next to a poem by Bukowski. He has also written comedy for television (Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher and the Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn) and radio (American Comedy Network), as well as contributing humor to the New Yorker, the Onion and McSweeney's Internet Tendency, among others. He is author of the poetry collections Death Row Row Row Your Boat (Sagging Meniscus, 2024), Falling in the Direction of Up (SM, 2021), and the humor collection It's Funny Until Someone Loses an Eye (Then It's Really Funny) (SM, 2017).

About TRIBUTARIES, now available from Sagging Meniscus Press! https://www.saggingmeniscus.com/catalog/tributaries In Tributaries, Kurt Luchs chooses twenty poems that hold vital meaning for him as a reader and writer—many, but not all, recognized as classics—and pays twofold tribute to them. First, he explores each poem with a deep-diving personal essay on how the poet works their magic upon us. Then he gives a tribute poem of his own, in response to, or inspired by, the poem under discussion. The result is a uniquely well-rounded, multidimensional way of honoring great poems, unlocking more of their treasures for both first-time and long-time lovers of poetry. Poets featured are Wallace Stevens, Robinson Jeffers, David Ignatow, Philip Larkin, D. H. Lawrence, Etheridge Knight, Wislawa Szymborska, Lucille Clifton, Gabriela Mistral, H.

Las decisiones que toman las empresas tienen un impacto en la sociedad. Esta simple idea, con tan complejas ramificaciones, es el campo de estudio de Ricardo.

Una empresa con beneficios, paga mejores salarios a sus trabajadores y mejora la vida a sus clientes.

The Hunter Thompson of the 19th Century, de Quincey is best known for his Confessions of an English Opium Eater (an activity shared with his hero, Samuel Coleridge, much to Wordsworth's dismay). However, de Quincey's literary genius is best captured in his essays, which, according to Wikipedia: His immediate influence extended to Edgar Allan Poe, Fitz Hugh Ludlow and Charles Baudelaire, but even major 20th century writers such as Jorge Luis Borges admired and claimed to be partly influenced by his work.This is a collaborative reading.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

"El Cardenal Napellus" (Der Kardinal Napellus) es un relato de terror del escritor austríaco Gustav Meyrink (1868-1932), publicado en la antología de 1916: Murciélagos (Fledermäuse). Es probablemente uno de los cuentos de Gustav Meyrink más destacados, refleja en cierto modo los peligros de la búsqueda de la verdad, que para el autor está relacionada con aquello que vulgarmente se denomina magia y el ocultismo. Jorge Luis Borges, que prologó El cardenal Napellus en La biblioteca de Babel, sostiene que los relatos de Gustav Meyrink se caracterizan por poner en evidencia que el universo es un lugar absurdo y, por consiguiente, irreal. Esto se ve reflejado fuertemente en este magnífico e inquietante cuento.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "Pierre Menard, Author Of The Quixote" which can be found in Collected Fictions. If focuses specifically on the main portion of the story, where the author discusses Pierre Menard's "other, subterranean, interminably heroic production", namely that of writing the Don Quixote, a project which he was able to carry out in part before his death. We look at the inspiration, the motivation and intention, and the method of this work, and the author's own assessments of the superiority of Menard's over Cervantes' Quixote.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "The Shape Of The Sword" which can be found in Collected Fictions. Borges listens to a story told by a former Irish revolutionary, marked by a scar across his face. the narrative centers on a physically cowardly and intellectually arrogant comrade, John Vincent Moon, who the narrator will save and protect and then be betrayed by to the British. It will turn out that the narrator himself is that very person Moon, and that he has told the story in that manner to get a full hearing. He then demands that Borges despise him.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "The Theologians" which can be found in Collected Fictions. It centers on a (perhaps one-way) rivalry between two Christian theologians, Aurelian and John of Pannonia, in a time when the Christian church is struggling with a number of heresies, some opposed to each other. John and Aurelian both produce refutations of one heresy, and then when Aurelian uses a passage from John's earlier refutation in a new refutation of a different heresy, John is condemned as a heretic. In the end, Borges suggests, there might not be any real difference between the two men To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Get Borges' Collected Fictions here - https://amzn.to/3xZnwHA
Jorge Luis Borges was a librarian with rock star status, a stimulus for magical realism who was not a magical realist, and a wholly original writer who catalogued and defined his own precursors. It's fitting that he was fascinated by paradoxes, and his most famous stories are fantasias on themes at the heart of this series: dreams, mirrors, recursion, labyrinths, language and creation. Marina and Chloe explore Borges's fiction with particular focus on two stories: ‘The Circular Ruins' and ‘The Aleph'. They discuss the many contradictions and puzzles in his life and work, and the ways in which he transformed the writing of his contemporaries, successors and distant ancestors.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosophical short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges's story "Deutsches Requiem" which can be found in Collected Fictions. The story is narrated in the voice of an unrepentant Nazi about to be executed for war crimes, Otto Dietrich zur Linde. He claims to be inspired in his life and in his activity within the Nazi party by great people in philosophy, literature, and music, and argues that we are now entering a new age of violence, which Nazi Germany helped to steer the world towards, even though it has to be sacrificed in the process To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Get Borges' Collected Fictions here - https://amzn.to/3xZnwHA

⸻ Podcast: Redefining Society and Technologyhttps://redefiningsocietyandtechnologypodcast.com _____________________________This Episode's SponsorsBlackCloak provides concierge cybersecurity protection to corporate executives and high-net-worth individuals to protect against hacking, reputational loss, financial loss, and the impacts of a corporate data breach.BlackCloak: https://itspm.ag/itspbcweb_____________________________A Musing On Society & Technology Newsletter Written By Marco Ciappelli | Read by TAPE3August 18, 2025The Narrative Attack Paradox: When Cybersecurity Lost the Ability to Detect Its Own Deception and the Humanity We Risk When Truth Becomes OptionalReflections from Black Hat USA 2025 on Deception, Disinformation, and the Marketing That Chose Fiction Over FactsBy Marco CiappelliSean Martin, CISSP just published his analysis of Black Hat USA 2025, documenting what he calls the cybersecurity vendor "echo chamber." Reviewing over 60 vendor announcements, Sean found identical phrases echoing repeatedly: "AI-powered," "integrated," "reduce analyst burden." The sameness forces buyers to sift through near-identical claims to find genuine differentiation.This reveals more than a marketing problem—it suggests that different technologies are being fed into the same promotional blender, possibly a generative AI one, producing standardized output regardless of what went in. When an entire industry converges on identical language to describe supposedly different technologies, meaningful technical discourse breaks down.But Sean's most troubling observation wasn't about marketing copy—it was about competence. When CISOs probe vendor claims about AI capabilities, they encounter vendors who cannot adequately explain their own technologies. When conversations moved beyond marketing promises to technical specifics, answers became vague, filled with buzzwords about proprietary algorithms.Reading Sean's analysis while reflecting on my own Black Hat experience, I realized we had witnessed something unprecedented: an entire industry losing the ability to distinguish between authentic capability and generated narrative—precisely as that same industry was studying external "narrative attacks" as an emerging threat vector.The irony was impossible to ignore. Black Hat 2025 sessions warned about AI-generated deepfakes targeting executives, social engineering attacks using scraped LinkedIn profiles, and synthetic audio calls designed to trick financial institutions. Security researchers documented how adversaries craft sophisticated deceptions using publicly available content. Meanwhile, our own exhibition halls featured countless unverifiable claims about AI capabilities that even the vendors themselves couldn't adequately explain.But to understand what we witnessed, we need to examine the very concept that cybersecurity professionals were discussing as an external threat: narrative attacks. These represent a fundamental shift in how adversaries target human decision-making. Unlike traditional cyberattacks that exploit technical vulnerabilities, narrative attacks exploit psychological vulnerabilities in human cognition. Think of them as social engineering and propaganda supercharged by AI—personalized deception at scale that adapts faster than human defenders can respond. They flood information environments with false content designed to manipulate perception and erode trust, rendering rational decision-making impossible.What makes these attacks particularly dangerous in the AI era is scale and personalization. AI enables automated generation of targeted content tailored to individual psychological profiles. A single adversary can launch thousands of simultaneous campaigns, each crafted to exploit specific cognitive biases of particular groups or individuals.But here's what we may have missed during Black Hat 2025: the same technological forces enabling external narrative attacks have already compromised our internal capacity for truth evaluation. When vendors use AI-optimized language to describe AI capabilities, when marketing departments deploy algorithmic content generation to sell algorithmic solutions, when companies building detection systems can't detect the artificial nature of their own communications, we've entered a recursive information crisis.From a sociological perspective, we're witnessing the breakdown of social infrastructure required for collective knowledge production. Industries like cybersecurity have historically served as early warning systems for technological threats—canaries in the coal mine with enough technical sophistication to spot emerging dangers before they affect broader society.But when the canary becomes unable to distinguish between fresh air and poison gas, the entire mine is at risk.This brings us to something the literary world understood long before we built our first algorithm. Jorge Luis Borges, the Argentine writer, anticipated this crisis in his 1940s stories like "On Exactitude in Science" and "The Library of Babel"—tales about maps that become more real than the territories they represent and libraries containing infinite books, including false ones. In his fiction, simulations and descriptions eventually replace the reality they were meant to describe.We're living in a Borgesian nightmare where marketing descriptions of AI capabilities have become more influential than actual AI capabilities. When a vendor's promotional language about their AI becomes more convincing than a technical demonstration, when buyers make decisions based on algorithmic marketing copy rather than empirical evidence, we've entered that literary territory where the map has consumed the landscape. And we've lost the ability to distinguish between them.The historical precedent is the 1938 War of the Worlds broadcast, which created mass hysteria from fiction. But here's the crucial difference: Welles was human, the script was human-written, the performance required conscious participation, and the deception was traceable to human intent. Listeners had to actively choose to believe what they heard.Today's AI-generated narratives operate below the threshold of conscious recognition. They require no active participation—they work by seamlessly integrating into information environments in ways that make detection impossible even for experts. When algorithms generate technical claims that sound authentic to human evaluators, when the same systems create both legitimate documentation and marketing fiction, we face deception at a level Welles never imagined: the algorithmic manipulation of truth itself.The recursive nature of this problem reveals itself when you try to solve it. This creates a nearly impossible situation. How do you fact-check AI-generated claims about AI using AI-powered tools? How do you verify technical documentation when the same systems create both authentic docs and marketing copy? When the tools generating problems and solving problems converge into identical technological artifacts, conventional verification approaches break down completely.My first Black Hat article explored how we risk losing human agency by delegating decision-making to artificial agents. But this goes deeper: we risk losing human agency in the construction of reality itself. When machines generate narratives about what machines can do, truth becomes algorithmically determined rather than empirically discovered.Marshall McLuhan famously said "We shape our tools, and thereafter they shape us." But he couldn't have imagined tools that reshape our perception of reality itself. We haven't just built machines that give us answers—we've built machines that decide what questions we should ask and how we should evaluate the answers.But the implications extend far beyond cybersecurity itself. This matters far beyond. If the sector responsible for detecting digital deception becomes the first victim of algorithmic narrative pollution, what hope do other industries have? Healthcare systems relying on AI diagnostics they can't explain. Financial institutions using algorithmic trading based on analyses they can't verify. Educational systems teaching AI-generated content whose origins remain opaque.When the industry that guards against deception loses the ability to distinguish authentic capability from algorithmic fiction, society loses its early warning system for the moment when machines take over truth construction itself.So where does this leave us? That moment may have already arrived. We just don't know it yet—and increasingly, we lack the cognitive infrastructure to find out.But here's what we can still do: We can start by acknowledging we've reached this threshold. We can demand transparency not just in AI algorithms, but in the human processes that evaluate and implement them. We can rebuild evaluation criteria that distinguish between technical capability and marketing narrative.And here's a direct challenge to the marketing and branding professionals reading this: it's time to stop relying on AI algorithms and data optimization to craft your messages. The cybersecurity industry's crisis should serve as a warning—when marketing becomes indistinguishable from algorithmic fiction, everyone loses. Social media has taught us that the most respected brands are those that choose honesty over hype, transparency over clever messaging. Brands that walk the walk and talk the talk, not those that let machines do the talking.The companies that will survive this epistemological crisis are those whose marketing teams become champions of truth rather than architects of confusion. When your audience can no longer distinguish between human insight and machine-generated claims, authentic communication becomes your competitive advantage.Most importantly, we can remember that the goal was never to build machines that think for us, but machines that help us think better.The canary may be struggling to breathe, but it's still singing. The question is whether we're still listening—and whether we remember what fresh air feels like.Let's keep exploring what it means to be human in this Hybrid Analog Digital Society. Especially now, when the stakes have never been higher, and the consequences of forgetting have never been more real.
