Articulo Revista IndexadaResumen:
Este ensayo aborda algunas de las relaciones que pueden trazarse entre J. M. Coetzee y Jorge Luis Borges, por un lado, y el concepto de Sur Global, por otro, ocupándose del reciente acercamiento de Coetzee a Latinoamérica. Se analiza el desarrollo de sus ideas sobre el concepto del Sur o “Sur real”, en oposición al “Sur mítico”, ilustrándose a través de un breve análisis del relato de Borges “El Sur” y la novela de Coetzee Disgrace. Estos dos textos nos ayudan a centrar el rechazo de Coetzee a la llamada “mirada del norte”, una visión occidentalizada del mundo dominada por la lengua inglesa, y su preferencia por el español como lengua en la que ha publicado inicialmente sus últimos libros.
Descripción:
This essay addresses some of the relations that can be traced between, on the one hand, J. M. Coetzee and Jorge Luis Borges and, on the other, the concept of the Global South and Coetzee’s recent approach to Latin America. The development of his ideas about the notion of the South or “real South,” as opposed to the “mythic South,” is discussed and illustrated through a brief analysis of Borges’s tale “El Sur” [“The South”] and Coetzee’s novel Disgrace. These two texts help us in focusing Coetzee’s rejection of the so-called “Northern Gaze,” a Westernised world-view dominated by the English language, and his preference for Spanish as the language for the initial publication of his latest books.
