title = "Narrative Aspect Change and Alternating Systems of Justice: A Wittgensteinian Reading of Borges",
abstract = "In his preface to the short story collection Doctor Brodie{\textquoteright}s Report (1970), Jorge Luis Borges remarks: {\textquotedblleft}I want to make it quite clear that I am not, nor have I ever been, what used to be called a preacher of parables or a fabulist and is now known as a committed writer. I do not aspire to be Aesop.{\textquotedblright} Borges denies here a moralistic or didactic dimension to his writing{\textemdash}a position which remains consistent throughout his writing and seems to be intimately linked with his view of poetic inspiration as an irrational event and of himself as a {\textquotedblleft}dreamweaver.{\textquotedblright} At the same time, he remarks that in his works he has been able to achieve a {\textquotedblleft}modest and secret complexity.{\textquotedblright} y aim in this essay is to unravel one of the dreamweaver{\textquoteright}s yarns, the short story {\textquotedblleft}Emma Zunz{\textquotedblright} from the collection The Aleph (1949), and to present the narrative and ethical foundations of the {\textquotedblleft}modest and secret complexity{\textquotedblright} of which Borges speaks.",
