The Construction of Fantastic Spaces: Tlön, Les Cités Obscures and the Cognitive Power of Fiction
En el presente artĂculo se tratan de establecer similitudes entre “Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis, Tertius” (“Tlön”) de Jorge Luis Borges, y las novelas gráficas Les CitĂ©s Obscures de François Schuiten y BenoĂ®t Peeters. “Tlön” está fundado en el principio “como si”: “Si el idealismo gnoseolĂłgico gobierna la realidad, entonces…” El principio “como si’ permite a Borges deconstruir para volver a construir, el resultado es un mundo posible erigido con una finalidad epistĂ©mica. Tlön, al constituir un mundo posible permite, por vĂa de contraste, explicar nuestra realidad. Una idea similar ha sido desarrollada por los autores de Les CitĂ©s Obscures (1982). François Schuiten y BenoĂ®t Peeters hacen uso de varios edificios emblemáticos de Bruselas, ciudad esta que aparece ligeramente transfigurada con el nombre de BrĂĽsel. Mediante un desplazamiento sutil se llama la atenciĂłn sobre el modo de ser de estos objetos. Utilizando elementos del rico patrimonio arquitectĂłnico de la ciudad, los autores han logrado crear un universo singular. Al igual que “Tlön”, Les CitĂ©s constituyen un mundo reconocible. Como artefacto ficcional, funciona mediante la superposiciĂłn de transparencias; el resultado es una realidad aumentada que guĂa nuestra mirada hacia prácticas culturales, periodos histĂłricos y estilos arquitectĂłnicos
El conocimiento de la realidad a través de la ficción: Una lectura epistemológica de Borges y Cortázar
This brief study deals with aspects related to fantastic literature in Borges and Cortázar, and of the worldviews that originate in it. Both Borges and Cortázar redefine the fantastic in epistemological terms, so that their own study can be considered as an epistemology of those fictions that promote an understanding of reality through epistemic exercises. The key concept that emerges from this critical position is that which shows the link between fiction and knowledge
Le Fantastique chez Cortázar
The Mound, the Doric style Royal Institute (left) and the Ionic style National Gallery (right); The Mound was Playfair's greatest achievement, which he owed to his appointment as architect to the Board of Manufactures. Playfair began in 1822 with the Doric style Royal Institution, at the foot of the Mound, which he enlarged and ornamented in 1830. He closed his vista in 1846 with the Free Church College, with a Gothic exterior. In 1851, in the intervening space, he began to construct the Ionic style National Gallery of Scotland, which was his final architectural statement. The Mound perfectly unites the contrasting Gothic and Classical character of the Old and New Towns Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/ (accessed 6/29/2012
