This book examines the relevance of the concepts of space and place
to the work of Jorge Luis Borges. The core of the book is a series
of readings of key Borges texts viewed from the perspective of
human spatiality. Issues that arise include the dichotomy between
'lived space' and abstract mapping, the relevance of a 'sense of
place' to Borges's work, the impact of place on identity, the
importance of context to our sense of who we are, the role played
by space and place in the exercise of power, and the ways in which
certain of Borges's stories invite us to reflect on our 'place in
the universe'. In the course of this discussion, crucial questions
about the interpretation of the Argentine author's work are
addressed and some important issues that have largely been
overlooked are considered. The book begins by outlining
cross-disciplinary discussions of space and place and their impact
on the study of literature and concludes with a theoretical
reflection on approaches to the issue of space in Borges,
extrapolating points of relevance to the theme of literary
spatiality generally.
