A critical assumption driving the work is that there is, as Jaime Alazraki has put it, 'a genuine effort to overcome the narrowness that Western tradition has imposed as a master and measure of reality' in Borges' writing. That narrowness is in large measure a consequence of the chronic influence of positivist approaches to reality that rely on empirical evidence for any authentication of what is 'real'. This study shows that, in opposition to such restrictions, Borges saw in fiction, in literature, the most viable means of discussing reality in a pragmatic manner. Moreover, by scrutinising several of the author's works, it establishes signposts for considering the truly complicated relationship that Borges had with reality, one that intimately associates the 'real' with human perception, insight and language. 410 0$aLiteratures of the Americas,$x2634-6028 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStyle 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aStylistics 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStyle. 615 14$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aStylistics. 676 $a868 702 $aGarcía-Osuna$b Alfonso J$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910733720603321 996 $aBorges, Language and Reality$93398449 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01849nas 2200481-a 450 001 9910140971103321 005 20250530164359.0 011 $a1609-7602 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2042024-9 035 $a(CKB)974392608079 035 $a(CONSER)---90641345- 035 $a(EXLCZ)99974392608079 100 $a19830527b19832004 --- a 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aQuarterly labour force statistics /$fOECD, Department of Economics and Statistics = Statistiques trimestrielles de la population active / Département des affaires économiques et statistiques, OCDE 210 1$aParis :$cOrganisation for Economic Co-operation and Development,$d1983-2004. 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 311 08$aPrint version: Quarterly labour force statistics / (DLC)###90641345 (DLC)sc 83008311 (OCoLC)9553359 0255-3627 517 3 $aStatistiques trimestrielles de la population active 531 $aOECD QUARTERLY LABOUR FORCE STATISTICS 531 $aQUARTERLY LABOUR FORCE STATISTICS OECD 531 0 $aQ. labour force stat. 606 $aLabor supply$vStatistics$vPeriodicals 606 $aLabor supply$2fast 606 $aManpower$zOECD countries$xStatistics$vPeriodicals$2nli 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 608 $aStatistics.$2fast 608 $aPeriodicals.$2lcgft 608 $aStatistics.$2lcgft 615 0$aLabor supply 615 7$aLabor supply. 615 7$aManpower$xStatistics 676 $a331.11/021 712 02$aOrganisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.$bDepartment of Economics and Statistics. 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910140971103321 920 $aexl_impl conversion 996 $aQuarterly labour force statistics$9790471 997 $aUNINA
