Abstract:
This work assumes the risk as a form, in the same way that the authores who inpired this piece (Jorge Luis Borges and Enrique Vila-Matas) did. In some way, we can say that we are presenting a fantastic hipothesis in the same style os much of the Borges' short stories, like Tlon, Uqbar Orbis Tertius. It means: we evoke the fiction and the fantastic to think about the relationship between the work of Borges and the work ofo Vila-Matas. Something that approach us from the other author mentioned here. If Enrique Vila-Matas already said that “My voice is from an essayist who uses narration as a support of the essay”, it's totally fair to use the narration to make a esay about him. So we beliave that this work makes a reflexion about the possible interlacements nettween thos two authors; the issue of authorship; the issue of the postmoden appropriation. And to reach this, we assume the risk as a form.
