Animal studies is a flourishing field of scholarship that focuses on human-animal interactions, representations of those interactions, and their ethical, social and political implications. Nonhuman animals are much more than a binary opposite to human animals. The animals that figure in literary works are quite often sidelined in our critical studies. This paper delves deep into the treatment of animals in the Borgesean oeuvre. At the outset, the theoretical framework is formulated, and the textual politics of animals in the works of Borges is analyzed in the ensuing part. The paper is predicated on the premise that Borges imparts complex philosophical ideas by recounting the animalia in his works.
