Resumo
This essay studies, in light of symbolic hermeneutics, five short stories
from Jorge Luis Borges‟ book Ficciones: “Las Ruinas Circulares”, “La Biblioteca
de Babel”, “La Loteria em Babilônia”, “El Jardim de Senderos que se Bifurcan”
and “El milagro secreto”. We have as obejctive the observation of the constant
symbols and alegories which propose reflections regarding time in the fictional
borgian narratives.
Facing the difficulty of comprehending the physical and natural laws to
which all humanity is submitted, the argentine author uses fiction to symbolically
represent some of his ideas. Borges has always demonstrated great unease,
mainly regarding time and eternity, thus proposing a reflection that transcends
both the rigid and pretentiously impartial scientific language and the
approximations of philosophy.
Firstly, we discuss the symbolism and its contributions to the
psychological and literary studies, as well as the importance of the hermeneutic
approach. To support our argumentation, we use studies from significant
authors in the investigations of general symbolism and symbolic hermeneutics,
mainly Gaston Bachelard, Gilbert Durand and Mircea Eliade.
Since time represents the purpose of this research, it (time) is the point to
which the analysis converts. We emphasize precisely on the philosophical
works of the 20th century, above all the philosophy of Henry Bergson, since he
is the one to retake the question of time and broaden its analytical potential,
electing conscience as the apprehension mechanism of that which he calls real
time.
