Coleção, arquivo, biblioteca: a literatura de Borges e Calvino

Literature, library, metaphor, politics, collection, archive. Points of a network articulated by the texts of Jorge Luis Borges and Italo Calvino. This is the path used by this book, in which fiction and knowledge are taken as narrative movements that are continually approaching and intermingling. The library, taken as an emblem of the space of "living together", to retake the thought of Barthes, or as a "utopia of proximity", to bring to the dialogue the reflection of Nicolas Bourriaud. Literature, as a political production, at the same time ethics and aesthetics. An invitation to walk through Borges and Calvino's literary libraries, which can be, as the author says, "safe anchorages", can also serve as starting points for new and adventurous journeys.
