No. 9 (2010): Mistic@s

Spirituality brings together both canonical theological elements and those of popular and massive religiosity, and refers to the intellectual and affective dimensions of the relationship with the divine as well as the methods and traditions that allow the construction of a relationship with oneself in an interior space. . Mystical texts: hagiographies, spiritual epistolary, autobiographies, spiritual diaries, mystical writings, exemplary lives and poetry, among others, whose models appeal to direct dialogue with God, lack a tradition of analysis from a gender perspective. Many of the texts written by men or women have not been sufficiently valued from a literary point of view and from a secular sphere. This volume aims to collect little-known authors and mystical works through the critical analysis of their texts, placed in a tradition of feminine spirituality that goes far beyond the conventual walls, in different literatures and historical periods that can account for the heterodoxy of this literary genre.
