Resumo: This article tries to analyze, in the work of Jorge Luis Borges, a kind of obsession the subject of man as demiurge, as well as other foundations of Jewish mysticism. Just by giving a brief look at some of his emblematic works, both poetry and narrative and essays, we find this constant concern. The stories “La biblioteca de Babel”, “Funes el memorioso”, “El Aleph” and “Las ruinas circulares”; the poems “La cifra”, “El hacedor”, “The Thing I Am” and “El Golem”; and of course, the essay written for one of the Siete noches on Kabbalah, gives a good clue to the way in which these themes permeate all the work of Borges.

Tan sólo con dar un breve vistazo sobre algunas de sus obras emblemáticas, tanto de poesía como de narrativa y ensayística, encontramos esta preocupación constante. Los cuentos “La biblioteca de Babel”, “Funes el memorioso”, “El Aleph” y “Las ruinas circulares”; los poemas “La cifra”, “El hacedor”, “The Thing I Am” y “El Golem”; y por supuesto, el ensayo escrito para una de las Siete noches sobre Cábala, dan una buena pista de la manera en que estos temas permean toda la obra borgiana.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2018-11-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/article/view/1448410.17851/1982-3053.12.23.52-70Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMG; v. 12 n. 23 (2018): Jorge Luis Borges e o arquivo da tradição judaica; 52-701982-3053reponame:Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMGinstname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/article/view/14484/11675Saed, Ivonneinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-07-20T13:25:19Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/14484Revistahttp://www.periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/indexPUBhttp://www.periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/oai||lyslei@ufmg.br1982-30531982-3053opendoar:2020-07-20T13:25:19Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMG - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
