Abstract/Description:
Borges’s literary production, particularly between 1923 and 1955, drastically changes in its depiction of Buenos Aires. The city that Borges considered his home was the center of various political and cultural changes in Argentina during those years, and the more that Argentina changed, the deeper Borges’s disillusionment became. Examining these changes in the depiction of themes such as city, community, and history, we can better understand the process of disillusionment by which Borges begins with a utopic view of Buenos Aires that becomes dystopic before it is abandoned in order to imagine a new utopia.
