Resumen
El presente trabajo propone una lectura de El jardín de senderos que se bifurcan (Borges, 1941) como parte de un reposicionamiento del escritor que puede vincularse con la muerte de su padre, Jorge Guillermo Borges, acaecida en febrero de 1938. En particular, el análisis se detiene en “Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius”, relato que tematiza la relación entre paternidad y creación (literaria). El relato, que se abre declarando que “la cópula” y “la paternidad” son “abominables” explora otras formas de engendramiento y de transmisión intergeneracional. Ante la muerte del padre, parece proponer la construcción de una comunidad horizontal de lectores-escritores que pueden dar forma, colectivamente, a la “Obra Mayor de los Hombres”.
This paper introduces a reading of The Garden of Forking Paths (Borges, 1941) as part of the writer's repositioning, which can be linked to his father's death, Jorge Guillermo Borges, in February 1938. Specifically, the analysis focuses on "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius", a story that deals with the relationship between fatherhood and (literary) creation. The story, which begins by declaring that "copulation" and "fatherhood" are "abominable", explores other ways of procreation and cross-generational transmission. In the face of the father's death, it seems to propose building a horizontal community of readers/writers who can collectively create the "Greatest Work of Men".
