Place and Displacement in the Narrative Worlds of Jorge Luis Borges and Julio Cort zar engages the notions of place and displacement as heuristic devices for literary analysis of Borges's and Cort zar's narratives. It maps out these authors' visions of place and displacement in some of their most famous texts; locates the 'place' of Borges's texts within Cort zar's fictional universe; and delineates new routes in communication between different literary traditions, and philosophical and anthropological discourses. This book also suggests that the challenge of a strict opposition between place and displacement in Borges's and Cort zar's works is both representative and emblematic of a continuum of Latin American literature.
