Otro Cervantes en Borges: los capítulos invisibles de Pierre Menard
No full textIn more than ninety of his works, Borges refers to Cervantes directly, and, in numerous others, he implicitly alludes to the father of the modern novel. Focusing on “Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote”, this essay analyzes, on the one hand, the games of self-representation hidden in Pierre Menard's visible works, and, on the other hand, Menard's (and therefore, Borges's) decision to attempt to reproduce chapters IX, XXII, and XXXVIII of the first part of Don Quixote. It is argued that these chapters possess particular significance, not only for Cervantes's novel but also for Borges's own literary project as well as for that of his fictional author. Lastly, three of Borges' most Cervantine short stories, “Death and the Compass”, “The South”, and “The Congress”, are briefly discussed.En más de noventa obras suyas, Borges se refiere de forma explícita a Cervantes, y en otras tantas hace alusión de manera implícita al padre de la novela moderna. Centrándose en “Pierre Menard, autor del Quijote”, este ensayo analiza por un lado los juegos de auto-representación ocultos en la obra visible de Pierre Menard, y, por el otro, la decisión de Menard (y por ende, de Borges) de intentar reproducir los capítulos IX, XXII y XXXVIII de la primera parte del Quijote. Según se argumenta, éstos poseen un significado especial, no sólo para la obra de Cervantes, sino también para el proyecto literario de Borges, así como para el de su autor ficcional. Por último, se comentan brevemente tres de los relatos más cervantinos de Borges: “La muerte y la brújula”, “El sur” y “El congreso”

CONGLOMERATE SPIN-OFFS: WHETHER U.S. TAX LAW INHIBITS DECONGLOMERATION
No full text In this Note, I examine whether the complex nature of the U.S. spin-off rules and the burdens associated with successfully navigating such rules discourage conglomerates from breaking up into smaller companies through tax-free spin-offs. First, I argue that there are numerous disadvantages of conglomeration, which generally tend to outweigh any economic benefits derived from the conglomerate form. Next, I describe the statutory and nonstatutory requirements of tax-free spin-offs, evaluating particularly how each requirement may impact a conglomerate wishing to spin off one or more of its business units. Because conglomerates are usually multinational corporations, I also briefly consider the tax consequences of spinning off a foreign company. In the following section, I discuss the issuance of private letter rulings in connection with conglomerate spin-offs and assess whether the I.R.S.’s recent policy changes have accelerated spin-off activity or, to the contrary, whether they have produced a chilling effect on conglomerate spin-offs. Finally, I examine a recent example of a successful conglomerate spin-off—Liberty’s spin-off of TripAdvisor—before analyzing an example of a failed conglomerate spin-off—Yahoo’s attempt to spin off Alibaba. I conclude that, although tax-free spin-offs are occasionally unsuccessful, such failures are rare.
Even if the tax rules are byzantine and the monetary stakes are exceptionally high, conglomerates wishing to spin off business units typically manage to satisfy the requirements. Therefore, although U.S. tax law does not completely hinder deconglomeration, spin-offs are nevertheless costly. Fulfilling the spin-off requirements leads to economic inefficiencies because it entails expensive pre-spin-off restructuring and delays, as well as high transaction and friction costs
