This paper aims to provide an interpretative intersection between Sigmund Freud's “Moses and Monotheism” and Jorge Luis Borges' short story “Death and the Compass” (“La muerte y la brújula”). This entanglement will be built upon the investigative structure that is common to both texts: in Borges, through the detective story, and in Freud, through the analytical investigation. Both texts are constructed by means of a conjecture, which affects the relationship between reader and text and imposes a restructuration of reading into an act.Downloads
