Conclusion: Renunciation Stories and Wandering Kings. 330 $aThis book follows the renunciation story in Borges and beyond, arguing for its centrality as a Borgesian compositional trope and as a Borgesian prism for reading a global constellation of texts. The renunciation story at the heart of Buddhism, that of a king who leaves his palace to become an ascetic, fascinated Borges because of its cross-cultural adaptability and metamorphic nature, and because it resonated so powerfully across philosophy, politics and aesthetics. From the story and its many variants, Borges's essays formulated a 'morphological' conception of literature (borrowing the idea from Goethe), whereby a potentially infinite number of stories were generated by transformation of a finite number of 'archetypes'. The king-and-ascetic encounter also tells a powerful political story, setting up a confrontation between power and authority; Borges's own political predicament is explored against the rich background of truth-telling renouncers. In its poetic variant, the renunciation archetype morphs into stories about art and artists, with renunciation a key requirement of the creative process: the discussion weaves in and out of Borges to highlight modern writers' debt to asceticism. Ultimately, the enigmatic appeal of the renunciation story aligns it with the open-endedness of modern parables. 410 0$aLiteratures of the Americas,$x2634-6028 606 $aLatin American literature 606 $aComparative literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLatin American/Caribbean Literature 606 $aComparative Literature 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 615 0$aLatin American literature. 615 0$aComparative literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 14$aLatin American/Caribbean Literature. 615 24$aComparative Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 676 $a800.098 676 $a868.6209 700 $aJullien$b Dominique$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01370229 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910733707503321 996 $aBorges, Buddhism and World Literature$93397862 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01893nam 2200577Ia 450 001 9910970090003321 005 20251117082440.0 010 $a0-8132-1219-7 035 $a(CKB)2550000000016867 035 $a(EBL)3134919 035 $a(OCoLC)922996836 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000470030 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11321133 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000470030 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10531580 035 $a(PQKB)10273465 035 $a(OCoLC)712060013 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse24221 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3134919 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10393165 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3134919 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000016867 100 $a20090406d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aHomilies on Judges /$fOrigen ; translated by Elizabeth Ann Dively Lauro 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aWashington, D.C. $cCatholic University of America Press$d2010 215 $a1 online resource (153 p.) 225 1 $aThe Fathers of the church : a new translation ;$vv. 119 300 $aTranslated from the Latin. 311 08$a0-8132-0119-5 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and indexes. 327 $tIntroduction --$tHomilies on Judges.$tHomily one ;$tHomily two ;$tHomily three ;$tHomily four ;$tHomily five ;$tHomily six ;$tHomily seven ;$tHomily eight ;$tHomily nine. 330 $aNo description available. 410 0$aFathers of the church ;$vv. 119. 606 $aSermons, Latin$vTranslations into English 615 0$aSermons, Latin 676 $a222/.3206 700 $aOrigen$0164524 701 $aDively Lauro$b Elizabeth Ann$01858043 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970090003321 996 $aHomilies on Judges$94459255 997 $aUNINA
