This book delves into creative renditions of key aspects of Jewish
Mysticism in Latin American literature, film, and art from the
perspective of literary and cultural studies. It introduces the
work of Latin American authors and artists who have been inspired
by Jewish Mysticism from the 1960s to the present focusing on
representations of dybbuks (transmigratory souls), the presence of
Eros as part of the experience of mystical prayer, reformulations
of Zoharic fables, and the search for Tikkun Olam (cosmic repair),
among other key topics of Jewish Mysticism. The purpose of this
book is to open up these aspects of their work to a broad audience
who may or may not be familiar with Jewish Mysticism.
