This study analyses the literary construction of space. More specifically, we analyse the artistic construction of the city and the means used to give it high relevance in the text. To this end, we chose the work of Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges, published in the 1920s and 1930s. We also analysed how Vitor Ramil (a reader and self-confessed admirer of Borges) constructs his own Satolep from the city of Pelotas. For this analysis, we used his novels that thematise the city: Pequod (1999) and Satolep (2008).
