| Sumario: | There is an aspect of “Borge's fabulations” that is highly original and not exclusively textual: the authorial figure he built in Argentine culture. Due to its vast and difficult to apprehend character, its specificities have not yet been the object of study. Based on the vast corpus of essays, notes, interviews published in different media, essentially national, we study in this essay one of the episodes of the vast “oral work” used by Borges to disseminate his conceptions and as well as a series of legends about his life, which allows us to understand the fluctuations and the complexity of his relationship with the media: his attitude and that of the press towards the Nobel Prize for Literature during the last Argentine dictatorship and the beginning of democracy until his death, that is, during the ten years between 1976 and 1986. |
