A reading of conflict: fantastic concepts and cultural influence of the cutlers in four stories by Jorge Luis Borges
The recognition of the work of Jorge Luis Borges as cosmopolitan has led many of his readers and critics to value him only as a universal writer, but not as a nationalist.

| description | The recognition of the work of Jorge Luis Borges as cosmopolitan has led many of his readers and critics to value him only as a universal writer, but not as a nationalist. However, much of Borges's narrative is influenced not only by Western culture, but also by the River Plate culture of the shores. With the theoretical contributions on fantastic literature from critics such as Tzvetan Todorov, Jaime Alazraki and Emir Rodríguez Monegal, the stories The Circular Ruins and The Secret Miracle are analyzed in this essay, with the aim of evidencing the Western influence on the Borgean narrative. Likewise, taking into account the studies on the life and work of Borges carried out by Beatriz Sarlo and Mario Vargas Llosa, this study analyzes the stories El fin and El Sur in order to highlight the cultural influence of the River Plate, specifically that of the cutlers. In sum, this double analysis leads to a reading of conflict that allows to reflect on the conflictive cultural duality that Borges experienced at the time of creating his literature, a conflict that is a fundamental piece to value the Argentine writer in all his dimension: as cosmopolitan and nationalist at the same time. |

El reconocimiento de la obra de Jorge Luis Borges como trabajo cosmopolita ha llevado a que muchos de sus lectores y críticos lo valoren solo como un escritor universal, mas no como uno nacionalista. Sin embargo, gran parte de la narrativa de Borges está influenciada no solo por la cultura occidental, sino también por la cultura rioplatense de las orillas. Con los aportes teóricos sobre la literatura fantástica de críticos como Tzvetan Todorov, Jaime Alazraki y Emir Rodríguez Monegal, el presente ensayo analiza los cuentos Las ruinas circulares y El milagro secreto con el objetivo de evidenciar la influencia occidental en la narrativa borgeana. Asimismo, teniendo en cuenta los estudios sobre la vida y obra de Borges realizados por Beatriz Sarlo y Mario Vargas Llosa, se analizan los cuentos El fin y El Sur, con la finalidad de resaltar la influencia cultural rioplatense, específicamente la de los cuchilleros. Por ello, este estudio conduce a una lectura de conflicto, el que permite reflexionar sobre la dualidad conflictiva cultural que vivió Borges al momento de crear su literatura; conflicto que es pieza fundamental además para valorar al escritor argentino en toda su dimensión: como cosmopolita y nacionalista al mismo tiempo.
