Our PAMLA 2023 Plenary Address was presented on Saturday, October 28.
Internationally renowned Jorge Luis Borges scholar Professor Daniel Balderston takes us into the interdisciplinary, ever-referential world of Borges. In "Borges on Bertrand Russell," his exploration of Borges’s lecture notes from 1954, with Borges’ only reference to Wittgenstein, Balderston will explain a large collective project (involving colleagues here, in Argentina, and elsewhere) to make sense of some thirty notebooks. Balderston is Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Modern Languages at the University of Pittsburgh, where he directs the Borges Center and edits the journal Variaciones Borges.
This interdisciplinary conversation promises to expand our perspectives on the nature and evolution of language both within and beyond the Arts and Humanities.
