Resumo
This study, presented as an essay, starts from the indeterminacy of meaning as a critical
assumption in an attempt to seize possible fragments of a poetics in the work of Jorge Luis
Borges. Thus, its outcome is not the definition of the poet and his creation, but a possible
critical reading. The study connects specific fragments of Borges work with different
support texts, critical and philosophical ones, by Joseph Hillis Miller, Antoine Compagnon,
Jacques Derrida, Paul de Man, Gilles Deleuze. This contact enables the perception of the
author s dissatisfaction before a couple of binary or polar oppositions (metaphysical
paradigms inheritance), and consequent imposition of order favoring one of the words:
literature/criticism, reading/writing, poetic/antipoetic, self/ one another, totality/suggestion.
Such dissatisfaction is expressed in the borgesian creation through a metaphor which I call
in-between. Its fundamental characteristic is the refutation of discourses that present
themselves as having a fixed and unshakable truth through a reversion of the hierarchy
which establishes them. Borges is, therefore, understood here as an inquirer who employs
the language, testing its limits and strength. The inquiring feature assigned to his texts, his
inflection, is reflected in this essay. Starting from a quotation from El Aleph and from the
fissured reading of such fragment, always highlighting the partiality of the study
accomplished here, this essay presents the defense that Borges lies in an in-between when
discussing fundamental questions like authorship, text, authenticity and self.
