Un articulo de Chris Rollason sobre Borges, publicado en India, que me
parece interesante incluso a proposito de la discusion actual sobre
"colonisacion informatica". Borges y su Babel de lenguas asociado a Ignacio
Romanet (le Monde Diplo) y el exceso de informacion de la Internet (su
ultimo libro) y a Saramago, al cual agrego Cortazar con su Rayuela y tienes
dos clasicos argentinos creando mundos imaginarios que son hoy dia tan
reales como las comunidades virtuales Mistica, etc.

Borges� �Library of Babel� and the Internet, by Christopher Rollason

Nota de la moderaci�n: Una frase corrosiva de este articulo con la cual
much@s aqui van a estar de acuerdo:
"The attitudes of journalists such as Ignacio Ramonet, who, while quite
justifiably stigmatising the whole phenomenon of "pens�e unique,"
simultaneously impugn the "unscientific" nature of the citizens' speech
that now exists on the Internet, may, perhaps, not be totally unfree of
what Freud once named the "professional complex" - in this case, the
notion, surely eminently dubious today, that only professional journalists
and intellectuals have the "right" to make public comment on the great
issues of the time. If today's cyberuniverse is a Library of Babel, it is a
library which you who read and I who write are building up each day, with
our own hands and minds.
