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.
