Abstract

Abstract:The article offers a discussion of two Latin American fictional historiographies: the short story “Guayaquil,” by Jorge Luis Borges (1970), and The Secret History of Costaguana by Juan Gabriel Vásquez (2011). Both these fictional historiographies are intertextually related to Joseph Conrad’s Nostromo (1904), and both may be read as inscriptions of a Postmodernist sensibility, but their respective engagements with the earlier fictional historiography offer very different versions of the relations of story, history, and historiography, highlighting some significant, albeit often-overlooked aspect of their hetero-text.

他的故事吗?的历史吗?拉丁美洲小说的康拉德式异质文本

摘要:本文讨论了两部拉丁美洲虚构的历史著作:豪尔赫·路易斯·博尔赫斯的短篇小说《瓜亚基尔》(1970)和胡安·加布里埃尔的《科斯塔瓜纳秘史》Vásquez(2011)。这两种虚构的史学都与约瑟夫·康拉德的《诺斯特罗莫》(1904)相互关联，两者都可以被解读为后现代主义情感的铭文，但它们各自与早期虚构史学的接触提供了故事、历史和史学关系的非常不同的版本，突出了它们的异性文本中一些重要的、尽管经常被忽视的方面。
