You Gotta Read This:
I found it! The origin of "behavioral science" by Martha Gimenez. Talk about refusing to hear in "good faith!"
A Quote from Jorge Luis Borges:
"A book is more than a verbal structure or series of verbal structures; it is the
dialogue it establishes with its reader and the intonation it imposes upon his
voice and the changing and durable images it leaves in his memory. A book is
not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

The Adventure of Martin Fierro: The Avant-Garde and Criollismo Skim through this chapter by Beatriz Sarlo from Borges: a Writer on the Edge for a brief introduction to the problems of immigration and assimilation, and the cultural patterns that result from this process. The Argentinian avant-garde was dealing with class, linguistic, and literary preferences. Here is an example of many of the problems we still face in the world today taking place in the 1920's in Argentina.

Jorge Luis Borges & the plural I by Eric Ormsby. In the New Criterion Online. In this review you will pick up quickly Borges' concern with identity of the "I" and the "Other." For those of you interested in pursuing approaches to identity, Borges holds some interesting surprises. For example:
" He cheerfully declared that he held no belief in an
afterlife and that he personally welcomed the inevitable oblivion
that would engulf his own name, as if extinction alone offered an
escape from the claustrophobia of infinitude."
