Borges, authorship, identity, literary viewAbstract
Borges' view of authorship contains complex connotations, including his own writing pursuit, his life value, and the significance of literature to human existence and development. Authors in Borges' writing as a whole can be summarized into three categories: creator, servant and discoverer. The different identities of authors as carriers of complex and profound ideas are characterized by his masterful writing skills. Borges' reflection and exploration of authorship reflects the reconstruction of the author's existence, the close relations between author's spiritual dilemma and self-transcendence from literary creation, and the rediscovery of the author in literary production. In summary, his view of authorship is important for enhancing the openness of literature and the author's sense of mission.
