BORGES Y LA CONSTRUCCIÓN NO FICCIONAL DE UN IMAGINARIO ARGENTINO

Abstract

Borges, in his productions, showed his aptitude to generate new speeches departing from the classic genres. This way not only allowed him to construct new communicative possibilities but also it helped him to shape little by little new configurations of the individual, principally, as social subject. In this respect we will approach the «compadrito» in his process of decline and final. In «La muerte y la brújula» we will approach the different portraits that it he developed in a crossing to discipline of the areas socio-political and literary. From the first look he constructs by means of a fiction-not fiction type of social concrete individual of our Argentine history: the «compadrito». For it, he placed the prominent figures in a series of landscapes and spaces formed with plastic resources. Especially this observes in the treatment that it gave him to the conclusion of the work: «the periodic series of facts of blood that culminated in the Triste-Le-Roy Inn between the endless smell of the eucalyptuses». The textual hybridization between fiction and not fiction realizes of the permanent need of re-important analysis and of his sense in this century that is showing a series of actors and emergent social that often might be social memories of those others that lived during last century.
