نبذة مختصرة : Most of Jorge Luis Borges' writings were published in reviews or newspapers before being included in a volume; the corresponding bibliographic data for the period 1919 and 1960 are presented in the annex of this study. When editing the first version of his Complete Works, between 1953 and 1960, Borges proceeded to a "selection" excluding a very important part of his production. Apparently he conceived the volume as the result of a conscious act of construction, which aims at the transmission of literary concepts. The translation of these concepts into formal aspects has been studied in particular for the Historia Universal de la Infamia; the notion of "translation" as proposed by Borges during this period describes this process. The stories in the book had first been published in the literary supplement of the "popular" Buenos Aires newspaper, Crítica, directed by Borges and Ulyses Petit de Murat between 1933 and 1934.

At the same time, he started using some techniques of the detective story, one of the most popular genres in Crítica.

Borges tried to supply his own vision of Argentine literature and literary history, revisiting some myths which seem connected to national identity. ; L'écart quantitatif existant entre l'oeuvre de Jorge Luis Borges publiée en divers revues et journaux, c'est-à-dire plus de 600 articles, notes bibliographiques et contes, et le nombre réduit de textes réunis sous le titre d'Œuvres Complètes, en neuf volumes, à Buenos Aires entre 1953 et 1960, permet de poser l'hypothèse d'un travail de sélection réalisé par l'auteur sur sa production. A partir de l'analyse des problèmes posés par ...
