of J. L. Borges. Future plans for
publication include the monograph Utopía y realidad en el ensayo político

Biography
I
graduated in Philosophy from the Universidad de Los Andes (Bogotá, Colombia)
and subsequently came to London to do a postgraduate course in early music at
the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Following my studies in music, I
obtained the MA degree in Area Studies at the Institute of Latin American
Studies. I was awarded the PhD degree from the University of London in 2001. My
publications include the monograph Borges and Dante: Echoes of a
Literary Friendship (Oxford and Bern: Peter Lang, 2006) and several
articles on ethics and poetics. My current research interests are in the field
of political philosophy and the literature of ideas in Spanish America in the
19th and 20th centuries.
