Abstract

The essay discusses the displacements of the word “museum” in the novel The Invention of Morel (1940) by Adolfo Bioy Casares. Through this analysis, it seeks to establish a relationship between mimetic myths and Morel’s machine on his museum island. One of the objectives of considering the production and uninterrupted circulation of images is to discuss the meanings that the museum can encompass as both a material and symbolic building. In the essay, this imagetic regime aligns with the displacements of the word “museum” through the classic prohibition: do not touch! Finally, unfolding (adrift) the uses of the museum in Bioy Casares’ novel is an attempt to propose alternative methods for writing art history that implicitly expose the collapse of representation.
