Full textAbstract
En este articulo abordaremos la influencia de la tradicion judia a traves de toda la obra bloomeana. Lo haremos a partir de tres focos de interes: la Cabala, El libro de J, y la obra de Freud y Kafka, los dos judios mas aplaudidos y estudiados por Harold Bloom. La Cabala y su estudio son uno de los pilares del judaismo y Bloom los viene estudiando desde sus comienzos en los anos 60. Bloom aborda el analisis de la Cabala siempre a partir de las interpretaciones que el cabalista Gershom Scholem hiciera de la misma. La version de la Biblia que Harold Bloom ofrece con su Libro de J es quiza una de las mas polemicas pero a la vez mas originales y ricas que han aparecido en los ultimos tiempos. Bloom recuerda que leer a Freud y a Kafka nos ensena que nuestra vida instintiva es agonistica y que nuestros momentos mas autenticos tienden a ser esos de negacion, contraccion y represion. This article will discuss the influence of Jewish tradition throughout Harold Bloom's work. We will do from three foci of interest: the Kabbalah, The Book of J, and the work of Freud and Kafka, the two Jews most applauded studied by Bloom. Kabbalah and its study is one of the pillars of Judaism and Bloom has been studying from his beginnings in the 60s. Bloom deals with the analysis of the Kabbalah always from the Kabbalistic interpretations by Gershom Scholem. The version of the Bible that Harold Bloom offers with his Book of J is perhaps one of the most controversial but also the most original and rich that has appeared in recent times. Bloom recalls that reading Freud and Kafka teaches us that our instinctive life is agonistic and our most authentic moments tend to be those of denial, contraction and repression.
