- Abstract
- This essay dialogues with Jacques Rancières On the Shores of Politics and Jorge Luis Borgess short story, El Congreso. Though employing different genres, Jorge Luis Borges and Jacques Rancière discuss a series of common themes: political community, equality and the role that intelligence (for Rancière) and literary fiction (for Borges) play in imagining the contours of possibility of a community of equals of an unfixed definition. I argue that according to both thinkers, fiction and political essays create the space for the discursive exposition of such a community as one always imminently to come, or as always already a catachresis. Discursively situating the community of equals is a practice of artifice that is constituted in the communitys ability and need to enact it.
