In Painting Borges, Jorge J.E. Gracia explores in depth the artistic interpretation of fiction using a novel and philosophically sophisticated approach. The book presents a provocative theory of the artistic interpretation of literature, thus contributing both to aesthetics and hermeneutics; it provides original artistic and philosophical interpretations of twelve of Borges's most famous stories, thus making new inroads in to the understanding of Borges's work; and it introduces readers to recent figurative Argentinean and Cuban art, two of the most vibrant artistic currents today. The book breaks new ground because, although the artistic interpretation of literature is nothing new in the history of art, the philosophical exploration of how artists have interpreted literature is a topic that has been largely ignored."--Project Muse CN - PN53 .G64 2012eb SN - 9781461906476 SN - 1461906474 SN - 9781438441795 SN - 1438441797 SN - 9781438441788 SN - 1438441789 SN - 9781438441771 SN - 1438441770 KW - Borges, Jorge Luis, : 1899-1986 : Themes, motives.
