La fracture : amour et réparation. Pensée kabbalistique et poésie hispanique

Abstract

The Kabbalah tries to explain the existence of suffering and evil by introducing new details in the myth of Creation. Isaac Luria’s school created the concepts of /Tsimtsum/ (contraction), /Shevirat kelim /(breaking of vessels) or /Tikun olam /(World restoration) in order to focus on the imperfection of Creation and to highlight human responsibility towards the world, as the man is considered God’s allied in the restoration. These ideas have drawn the attention of a group of contemporary Hispanic poets, who have put them in the context of their own creative experience. They could help the contemporary world develop a reflection on human responsibility towards the threatened nature.
