This article offers a Buberian reading of Jorge Luis Borges’s story ‘The Secret Miracle’ (‘El milagro secreto’), a work that deals with the persecution of the Jews following Hitler’s invasion of Czechoslovakia in March 1939. Borges read and translated Buber in his youth, at a time in which he had become interested in Jewish mysticism and Jewish culture in general. By examining Borges’s tale in relation to key notions in Buber’s moral philosophy, this article seeks to produce an interpretation of ‘The Secret Miracle’ as a tribute to the Jewish people. Reference to other works dealing with Nazism is made in order to highlight the influence of Buber on Borges’s moral-philosophical thought.
这篇文章提供了豪尔赫·路易斯·博尔赫斯(Jorge Luis Borges)的故事《秘密奇迹》(El milagro secreto)的布贝伦式阅读,这部作品讲述了1939年3月希特勒入侵捷克斯洛伐克后对犹太人的迫害。博尔赫斯年轻时就开始阅读和翻译布伯,当时他对犹太神秘主义和犹太文化产生了兴趣。通过研究博尔赫斯的故事与布伯道德哲学中的关键概念的关系,本文试图将“秘密奇迹”解释为对犹太人的致敬。为了突出布伯对博尔赫斯道德哲学思想的影响,参考了其他关于纳粹主义的著作。

In Germanophone and Francophone literary spaces, a genre by the name of autosociobiography has recently been the subject of increased attention, with texts by Annie Ernaux, Didier Eribon, Christian Baron, Richard Hoggart and others frequently being mentioned in this regard. While individual cases, such as the French reception of Richard Hoggart, have been studied before, this essay takes a broader approach and examines English-, French- and German-language texts in order to trace the complex itinerary of autosociobiography and sketch out the history of this emerging form in the second half of the twentieth century. In addition, we explore how the emergence of autosociobiography relates to international and supranational developments such as the expansion of higher education, economic recession and the rise of Neoliberalism after the Trente Glorieuses. Autosociobiography – so runs our thesis – is an attempt to reinstall a logic of the general in a ‘society of singularities’. Finally, our essay discusses the methodological problems that will be encountered in the study of autosociobiography as a travelling genre.
