"The Weave of Vacuum: Baroque Geometry and Evolutionary Biolinguistics in 20th Century Hispanic American Literature" develops a new analytical model to study the relationships between literary and scientific texts and applies it to three case studies of 20th century Hispanic American Literature: Jose Lezama Lima, Jorge Luis Borges and Ricardo Piglia. This new analytical model addresses C.P. Snow's "two cultures" thesis and considers the presence of science in literary works as the result of the two writing traditions' common past, during which Science and Literature were not entirely distinguishable as two separate endeavours. In particular, the dissertation concentrates on three specific discourses considered scientific today: mathematics, biology and linguistics. The research for this work spans from the pre-classical and classical sources of Greek literature to 20 th century Argentine and Cuban literature, going through a wide array of European and Iberian literary, philosophical and scientific texts of the medieval and early modern periods. Rather than examining literary accounts of scientific concepts, which as a norm are considered to be created by science disciplines independently from literature, this work analyzes specific examples in scientific and literary texts in which they both deal in parallel with historical processes normally associated with science, namely the determination of number π, in the case of Lezama, the mechanism of biological evolution as it is used by Piglia or the nomos versus physis ontological debate in linguistic sciences as a tension generator in Borges's short stories.
