"The Secret Sharer: Borges as Reader"

The Oxford Handbook of Jorge Luis Borges | Oxford Academic https://academic.oup.com/edited-volume/56476 Abstract The Oxford Handbook of Jorge Luis Borges consists of thirty�ve chapters, organized into four main categories: Borges’s life, his representative work traced across the many decades of his writing, his work in collaboration, and his reception in literature and other disciplines. The volume highlights current debates among Borges scholars as a way to reevaluate how the physical forms and sociopolitical contexts of Borges’s writings both shaped and determined speci�c readerships around the world. Alongside these novel approaches to Borges’s �ctions and non�ctions, this Handbook is the �rst of its kind to dedicate space to the reception of Borges’s works in the �elds of philosophy, the visual arts, �lm, political science, media theory, mathematics, and law. The collection also goes further to trace Borges’s activity in the public sphere, including local and national politics and the functioning of cultural institutions. To date, no other collection devoted to his writings or life addresses these issues in depth, nor do they consider how his a�liations and interests change over the course of his long life. Incorporating these broader perspectives into this Handbook serves to bring out tensions, continuities, and discontinuities in Borges’s work, allowing for a much more nuanced understanding of it.
