Bymixing theater and history, Borges overcomes historical representation in terms of thebinaries true/false and real/fiction. This article argues that the historical reality initiated by thisperformance is the result of an incessant literary mediation. Literature, specifically Festspieleand Shakespearean plays, helped establish a parallax view of the historical events and becamethe vehicle to validate them as ontological reality. Thus, the historical events, performed orotherwise, are inherently accompanied by literature, having the latter enlighten the former.When Ryan, the main character, discovers the historical theatricality, he also discovers thathe cannot change the social significance of the historical events, and himself becomes a partof the historical narrative. 2015 artículo científico 1409-469X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=43942943005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/439/43942943005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/439/43942943005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/439/43942943005/43942943005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/439/43942943005/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=439 Diálogos Revista Electrónica de Historia application/pdf Universidad de Costa Rica Diálogos Revista Electrónica de Historia (Costa Rica) Vol.16 |
