What is an author like Borges? Relation between "The Library of Babel" and the theory of Michel Foucault.

Abstract

Foucault talks about the relation of attribution, where Borges can be attributed everything related with things that he said or written. In this essay I define the actions in the name of an author like Borges, related to the category of the proper name. His name is more than a gesture, is part of his connexion between words and things. As Foucault says, Borges is the author of a novel and he is responsible for more than his own text.  Borges use connections, different types of discourse and the author's position in a discursive field. The author's name may be relevant in certain circumstances and I would like to define that kind of circumstances in Borges.
