The study of Kabbalah, one of the main mystical traditions within Judaism, offers profound insights into spirituality, philosophy, and the nature of existence. As a rich tapestry of thought and belief, Kabbalah does not exist in isolation but interacts dynamically with various fields of knowledge and other religious traditions. The panel aims to encompass a broad array of perspectives on Kabbalah, by exploring its often hidden or liminal intersections with other disciplines. This panel focuses on the cross-cultural dialogue that Kabbalah has engaged in throughout the ages, influencing and giving rise to new currents of thought and beliefs. Philosophy, literature, astrology, magic are some of the fields involved in the research, as well as their relationship with figures from various religious backgrounds, including Christianity and Islam.
The position to be adopted is, therefore, to use a term favored by Michel de Certeau (1925-1986), that of the margin, or rather, overlapping of the borders, to shift the focus from the center to the discovery of the new. By delving into these diverse interactions, we aim to shed light on how Kabbalistic concepts have transcended cultural boundaries and influenced multiple disciplines.
