description The essay “O infinito e o infinito” by the writer, philosopher and literary theorist Maurice Blanchot presents an exercise in comparative literature between Jorge Luis Borges and the poetry of Henry Michaux, produced when the latter submitted himself to scientific tests on the use of mescaline. Blanchot unites distinct universes, and from the contact with the differences of the Latin American writer and the French writer, enlightenment occurs. From the study of Borges’s short story, “Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius”, in Fictions, and of two poetic fragments from Miserable Miracle, we could visualize what Blanchot called “the reversal power of literature”.

O ensaio “O infinito e o infinito”, do escritor, filósofo e teórico da literatura Maurice Blanchot, apresenta um exercício de literatura comparada entre Jorge Luis Borges e a poesia de Henry Michaux, produzida quando este último se submeteu a testes científicos de uso da mescalina. Blanchot une distintos universos, e no contato entre as diferenças do escritor latino-americano e do francês, irrompe a iluminação. A partir do estudo do conto de Borges, “Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius”, de Ficções, e de dois fragmentos poéticos de Miserável Milagre, foi possível visualizar o que Blanchot denominou “poder de reversão da literatura”. 2013-12-13 2022-03-18T18:38:11Z 2022-03-18T18:38:11Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/lettres/article/view/6427 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63603 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/lettres/article/view/6427/4742 Copyright (c) 2013 Lettres Françaises application/pdf Lettres Françaises Lettres Françaises; n.14 (1), 2013 2526-2955 1414-025X
