contemporaneity-38	Donnelly, Jennifer	Mirror of Time: Temporality and Contemporaneity in the work of Jorge Luis Borges	2012	12	.pdf	application/pdf	6188	255	45	This essay deals with a narrow subject within the philosophy of time: the refutation of linear time and the emergence of contemporaneity and multiple theories of time over the course of the twentieth-century as a reaction against the universal, progress-oriented modernist theories of time of the early twentieth- century. As in The Garden of Forking Paths, he denies the existence of linear time based on the assumption that a single instance of repetition destroys the successive sequence of time: “Is not one single repeated term enough to disrupt and confound the history of the world, to reveal that there is no such history?”10	cache/contemporaneity-38.pdf	txt/contemporaneity-38.txt
