SUMMARY:

It is not possible to talk about Jorge Luis Borges without mentioning three words: time, mirrors and labyrinths, because the writer not only works these elements in his works through a neofantastic way, but also incorporates the discussions that these elements bring to the reading of his epoch, from a game with space-time at the heart of his tales. In this articulation between neofantastic form and content brought from the historical context in which it is inserted, the expansion of the real duplicates geographical references and expands them, in search of an understanding of its own time. Our general objective in this thesis is, therefore, to investigate the discursive labyrinths of modernity in the fictional chronotopes of Borgean narratives, in order to understand how these procedures and exchanges, between the real and the fictional, are carried out and how they are sometimes articulated with the discourses on the modernization process in Latin America. For this, we took as methodology the discussions brought by Mikhail Bakhtin about studies on aesthetics and literature, focusing on the texts "The problem of content, material and form", in his book Questions of literature and aesthetics (2014) and, in his reflections on space-time in the literary work The forms of time and the chronotope (2018). Thus, we divided our work into three stages or specific objectives: to identify how the fictional chronotopes are articulated with the typologies of the fantastic; examine how these fantastical forms serve as the basis for a Borgean neofantastic; to analyze the composition of fictional chrontopes in Borges' neofantastic prose, based on some short stories from the books Ficciones (1944) and El Aleph (1950). In this path of investigation, we combine historical discussions about the context of modernity in Latin America, from Júlio Pimentel Pinto (1998), Beatriz Sarlo (1995), Octavio Paz (2014), Erik Hobsbawn (2018), Marshall Berman (2007 ), how these discussions enter and are worked on in the literary work, reflecting on the fantastic forms from Tzvetan Todorov (1981) and Jaime Alazraki (1990), focusing on the work of Jorge Luis Borges, studied by theorists such as Daniel Balderston (1993), María Barrenechea (1984), Emir Rodriguez Monegal (1980), Beatriz Sarlo (1995). Such choices are important to understand how the refraction of certain discourses are linked through a material and a form, in the creation of fictional Borgean chronotopes, spatializing important discussions on Argentine cultural memory and on the discursive ambivalence in modernity.
