Description:

This course proposes an in-depth analysis of works by the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986). His writing subverts our comforting presuppositions about our place in the universe and its intelligibility. A map the size of the world, an object reflecting all time and place, an encyclopedia that engulfs the universe are only part of the huge landscape Borges' works offer. Reading selections include short stories as well as essays, poems, and critical studies. Prerequisite: A grade of C- or better in HISP270 and one of the following: HISP261 or HISP262 or HISP263 or HISP264; or Permission of the Instructor. 1.00 units, Lecture
