De Argentijnse kunstenaar Jorge Macchi (°1963, Buenos Aires) werd in het najaar van 2015 aangesteld om een kunstwerk te creëren voor de raadzaal van dienstencentrum Leiespiegel. Het unieke werk ?The book of hours? wordt in de loop van april-mei 2016 geïnstalleerd.Het zal te zien zijn aan het plafond van de raadzaal, waardoor het ook van buitenaf zichtbaar is. Jorge Macchi liet zich voor het ontwerp inspireren door de dialoog tussen de oude middeleeuwse architectuur van de Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk en de vernieuwende moderne architectuur van dienstencentrum Leiespiegel. ?Deze tegenstelling verwoordt volgens mij perfect de essentie van de Europese cultuur: het samengaan van de toekomst en het verleden, en het creëren van een nieuwe, harmonische structuur? stelt Macchi. In de tentoonstelling zullen de ontwerpen te zien die het ontstaansproces van ?The book of hours? illustreren. Andere werken op papier kaderen de creatie van ?The book of hours? binnen het complete oeuvre van Macchi waarbinnen ruimte en tijd steeds een centrale rol spelen. Exhibition: Museum van Deinze en de Leiestreek, Deinze, Belgium (21.05.-31.07.2016).

Making an important contribution to studies in Literature and Philosophy, this book reads Jorge Luis Borges philosophically, particularly in reference to his use of representation and reality. Rather than attempting to subordinate Borges to a set of philosophical constructs, to reduce Borges' texts to mere exemplifications or illustrations of philosophical theories, the book uses Borges's short stories to demonstrate how philosophical questions related to representation develop out of literature and actually serve as precursors to the various strains of post-analytic philosophy that later developed in the United States. The volume discusses American post-analytic philosophers Richard Rorty, Hilary Putnam, Donald Davidson, Nelson Goodman, and Arthur Danto, as well as a wide-ranging set of philosophical ideas including reflections on Keynes, Hayek, Schopenhauer and many others . Chapters offer detailed readings of Borges' texts extending from 1939 to 1983, locating where he thematizes issues of representation, and pursuing the logic of Borges's text toward its philosophical implications without neglecting their literary value. The book argues that Borges' exploration of the relationship between representation and reality places him unmistakably in the position of a precursor to the post-analytic philosophers. Illuminating the role that language plays in the creation of reality and representation, this volume makes significant contributions not only to Borges scholarship but also post-structuralism, post-analytic studies of language, semiotics, comparative literature, and Latin American literature.
