New England invented the west” said Jorge Luis Borges and though he was referring to “the ethical preoccupation” of protestant, North Americans to create a totalizing narrative of good triumphing over evil, he could have very well been referring to the mapping of the west as a physical landscape. The west acts as a blank canvas through which the dreams and mythos of the protestant forebears are projected in a national passion play.
this is why footnotes are important because it seems to me that borges could have meant both interpretations, and in fact, given his ouvre, the second seems most likely given his preoccupation with psychogeography (not that he ever used that term). But w/o context i can’t really decide what borges meant
