ABSTRACT

This article examines Vargas Llosa’s fifty-year-long conflicted fascination for Jorge Luis Borges. The young and leftist Vargas Llosa disregarded Borges as the embodiment of a disengaged intellectual, while the mature Vargas Llosa celebrates him as the emblem of cosmopolitanism that should inspire globalized societies today. Focusing on different stages of Vargas Llosa’s intellectual biography, I examine how his interpretations of Borges are informed by readings of Jean-Paul Sartre, Gabriel García Márquez and Miguel de Cervantes. Considering the intersections of political engagement and literary theories, I study how Vargas Llosa incorporates Borges’ intellectualism into his fiction and imbues it with eroticism.

摘要

本文探讨了巴尔加斯·略萨对豪尔赫·路易斯·博尔赫斯长达 50 年的矛盾迷恋。年轻的左翼人士巴尔加斯·略萨无视博尔赫斯是一个无所事事的知识分子的化身，而成熟的巴尔加斯·略萨则称赞他是世界主义的象征，应该激励当今的全球化社会。着眼于巴尔加斯·略萨的知识传记的不同阶段，我研究了他对博尔赫斯的解释是如何从让-保罗·萨特、加布里埃尔·加西亚·马尔克斯和米格尔·德·塞万提斯的阅读中得到启发的。考虑到政治参与和文学理论的交叉点，我研究了巴尔加斯·略萨如何将博尔赫斯的理性主义融入他的小说中，并为其注入色情色彩。
