MARK YOUR CALENDAR: Hispanic Division and the Hebrew Language Table present: BORGES AND THE KABBALAH: PATHS TO THE WORD TUESDAY JANUARY 16, 2007 AT 11:30 AM The Library of Congress, Madison Building, Pickford Theater Program is free and open to the public Borges and the Kabbalah: Paths to the Word is a dialogue between image and text. Argentinian artist, Mirta Kupferminc, in Buenos Aires, and Argentine literary critic, Associate Provost and Professor at the University of Maryland, Saul Sosnowski, have shared the challenge of weaving together and forging links between Borges and the Kabbalah through different modes of expression. More than a dialogue, this has been a "trialogue," as both worked from Borges' texts; Borges, in turn, crafted his literary versions from a number of fundamental Kabbalistic notions. Mirta Kupferminc and Saul Sosnowski will be present to discuss their book, Borges and the Kabbalah: Paths to the Word. A book for bibliophiles, it integrates Kupfermincs original etchings, Borges own work, traditional Jewish texts, and commentaries and poems written by Sosnowski. The work is characterized by an appearance of order, but is in reality both complete and open to other options. Borges and the Kabbalah, as the creators themselves suggest, leads us to paths that, as the Kabbalah, in its realm, and Borges in his literature, create never-ending journeys. A short documentary explaining the physical making and some not evident meanings of the book will also be shown.
