This essay seeks the social practices that made possible the literary trajectory of Jorge Luis Borges, author who would have erased the traces of his personal life. Taking as a guideline his early writings, family relations and the Argentine literary field in the first decades of the XXth century, the article suggests new keys to the interpretation of Borges’ work.
