%X L¡¯¨¦crivain argentin Jorge luis Borges (1899-1986) est traditionnellement consid¨¦r¨¦ comme un auteur   savant   car bon nombre de ses textes d¨¦montrent son extraordinaire culture et son ¨¦poustouflante ¨¦rudition, dans des domaines parfois tr¨¨s sp¨¦cialis¨¦s. Cette culture se manifeste aussi bien dans les Essais que dans l¡¯ uvre po¨¦tique, mais aussi fr¨¦quemment dans la production narrative. Cependant, l¡¯ uvre litt¨¦raire de Borges n¡¯est pas pour autant exempte de figures populaires, telles que le gaucho de la Pampa ou de l¡¯Uruguay, ou bien encore le compadrito, figure embl¨¦matique des faubourgs de Buenos Aires. Certaines nouvelles se situent d¨¦lib¨¦r¨¦ment dans des milieux populaires et campent des personnages hauts en couleurs. Un cas particulier est celui des nouvelles    dipiennes   de l¡¯auteur, qui m¨ºlent avec bonheur les deux aspects populaire et savant. Situ¨¦s dans le monde de la   marge   ou de la limite (faubourgs de la capitale argentine ou fronti¨¨re uruguayo-br¨¦silienne), ces textes reprennent telle quelle une trame classique, immortalis¨¦e par Sophocle, et r¨¦cup¨¦r¨¦e ensuite par Sigmund Freud en faisant du complexe d¡¯ dipe l¡¯un des ¨¦l¨¦ments importants de sa th¨¦orie psychanalytique. Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) is usually perceived as being a ¡°learned¡± author, as a substantial number of his texts display extraordinary culture and astounding scholarship sometimes in very specialized areas. This culture shows in his essays as well as in his poetical writings but also in his narrative work. However, this is not to say that his literary production is free from popular characters, such as the gaucho of the Pampas or Uruguay, or else the compadrito, a figure symbolical of the outskirts of Buenos Aires. Some short stories are emphatically set in popular surroundings and portray colourful characters. The ¡°oedipal¡± short stories of the writer are a case in point, combining as they do both sides - the popular and the learned one - to great effect. Set in a ¡°fringe¡± or border world (the outskirts of the Argentine capital or the border between Uruguay and Brazil), these texts make faithful use of a classical framework which was immortalised by Sophocles and then taken up by Sigmund Freud who was to turn the Oedipus complex into one of the main elements of his psychoanalytic theory.
