- Title
LO MÍTICO Y SU RELACIÓN CON LO FANTÁSTICO EN LA OBRA DE J. L. BORGES.
- Authors
Tapia Saavedra, Iván
- Abstract
In this paper I will try to give a reading of the Borgean story "Las Ruinas Circulares" [The Circular Ruins], based on the theoretical approach of Victor Ivanovici regarding the category of the fantastic, particularly in what refers to the mythical component proposed by this author. With this intention, I will examine two different theoretical definitions of this aesthetic category: Tzvetan Todorov's and Victor Ivanovici's. Consequently, I will introduce the anthropological elements that feed the Ivanovician proposal through authors like: Bronislaw Malinowski, Claude Levi--Strauss and Mircea Eliade. Finally, I will contrast the Ivanovician theoretical definition -based on anthropological theory of myth- with a reading of the chosen short story, to corroborate the elements presented by Ivanovici as essential to the category of fantastic.
