Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estudio de un periodo fundamental de la cultura española. En un contexto histórico, tan conflictivo tanto política como religiosamente como el de la Contrarreforma, y sobre la base de una abrumadora literatura espiritual (en torno a 3000 libros publicados de este género) surge la mística española. Se analiza aquí los hirizontes filosóficos de esta escritura, su lenguaje. Fray Luis de León, Teresa de Jesús, o Juan de la Cruz articulan una escritura de lo sublime, lo armonioso, lo experiencial.

Book excerpt: La fábula mística estudia una figura histórica de la mística cristiana. Figura pasajera organizada en torno a las relaciones entre un sujeto hablante, una palabra y una institución, cuando se desgarra el mundo de las certidumbres medievales, cuando la fe se vuelve combate y pregunta, cuando el orden tradicional se desmorona y se abren mil otros lugares para restaurar la comunicación espiritual. Ardiendo por el amor de Otro, el sujeto (a menudo femenino) dice su deseo de un imposible encuentro a través de las sorpresas y violencias de un relato de éxtasis, de gracias y de heridas. La manera de decir le importa más que lo dicho, y su palabra se hace música, poema, diálogo y fábula. Asociados a las imágenes perturbadoras del loco, el idiota, el niño, la mujer o el peregrino, los místicos se refieren y se sustraen al poder de la institución eclesial, arrebatados por un movimiento que es transporte, pasión, pero también «vida común de la fe».

Download or read book Legend of Myself written by María Victoria Atencia and published by Aris and Phillips Hispanic Cla. This book was released on 2014 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of 65 short poems, Roberta Quance exemplifies the range, vitality and mysticism of work by one of Spain's foremost, if controversial, contemporary female poets, drawing on the contents of a number of Spanish collections. In Atencia's poetry the poetic subject is often seen as someone who occupies an interior space, either crossing over the threshold from the outside world to an inner one (a garden, a house, a castle), or moving from the inner, home space to one even more interior: the world of dreams and imagination and hope, which can project outward into liminal spaces of the sky or the sea. A very basic paradox of Christian mystical experience – of abasement and magnification – haunts Atencia's work. She has made her own one of its fundamental tenets: the purging of self, the shedding of all trace of worldly attachment in order to 'make room' for experience of a different reality: the self's sense of 'nothingness' in the face of beauty is a prized moment in and of itself; it is sublime. Atencia's definitive manner: classically shaped verse in the tradition of the 'pure poetry' of the Generation of 1927, which makes myth of a womanly self, is amply explored in this first major English edition of her work to appear since 1987. Roberta Quance is Senior Lecturer in Spanish and Portuguese Studies at Queen's University Belfast. She is author of books on mythology and modernity in modern literature and desire in the poetry of Lorca as well as articles on women writers and artists associated with the Generation of 1927 and translations of work by Carlos Piera.

Download or read book Teresa of Avila and the Politics of Sanctity written by Gillian T. W. Ahlgren and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teresa of Avila, one of history's most beloved mystics, wrote during a time of intense ecclesiastical scrutiny of texts. The determination of the Counter-Reformation Church to dominate religious life and control the content of theological writing significantly influenced Teresa's career as reformer and writer. Gillian T. W. Ahlgren explores the theological and ecclesiastical climate of sixteenth-century Spain in this study of the challenges Teresa encountered as a female theologian and mystic. As inquisitional censure increased and the authority of women's visions and ecstatic prayer experiences declined, Teresa's written self-expressions became, of necessity, less direct. Her later writing was heavily encoded and scholars have only recently begun to decipher those protective codes. Ahlgren demonstrates how Teresa's rhetorical style and theological message were directly responsive to the climate of suspicion created by the Inquisition and how they thus constituted a challenge to sixteenth-century assumptions about women. The only female theologian to be published in late sixteenth-century Spain, Teresa sought to provide a clear defense of mystical experience, particularly that of women. Ahlgren suggests that the rhetorical strategies Teresa developed to protect women's visionary experiences were subsequently used by Church officials to rewrite aspects of her life and thought, transforming her into the model for official Counter-Reformation sanctity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El silencio, que significa algo más que la interrupción de los sonidos o buscar el reverso del lenguaje oral, posee, contradictoriamente, una poderosa dimensión comunicativa y una extraña capacidad para facilitar la entrada en el mundo del espíritu, el pensamiento y las artes. Es, tanto como el habla, una forma de conocimiento, la llave que permite introducirse en la complejidad de la conciencia. Desde el silencio puede analizarse otra perspectiva de la conducta humana, interpretar críticamente la cultura y explicar de un modo sutil y poco habitual toda construcción metafísica. El presente libro, cuyo amplio estudio preliminar recoge el origen y desarrollo de las tradiciones espirituales y filosóficas de Oriente y Occidente, ofrece una cuidada selección de escritos sobre el silencio, obra de los grandes maestros de la mística española de los siglos XVI y XVII, que representaron la cumbre de la literatura espiritual europea.

Download or read book The Inquisition of Francisca written by Francisca de los Apóstoles and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by a series of visions, Francisca de los Apóstoles (1539-after 1578) and her sister Isabella attempted in 1573 to organize a beaterio, a lay community of pious women devoted to the religious life, to offer prayers and penance for the reparation of human sin, especially those of corrupt clerics. But their efforts to minister to the poor of Toledo and to call for general ecclesiastical reform were met with resistance, first from local religious officials and, later, from the Spanish Inquisition. By early 1575, the Inquisitional tribunal in Toledo had received several statements denouncing Francisca from some of the very women she had tried to help, as well as from some of her financial and religious sponsors. Francisca was eventually arrested, imprisoned by the Inquisition, and investigated for religious fraud. This book contains what little is known about Francisca—the several letters she wrote as well as the transcript of her trial—and offers modern readers a perspective on the unique role and status of religious women in sixteenth-century Spain. Chronicling the drama of Francisca's interrogation and her spirited but ultimately unsuccessful defense, The Inquisition of Francisca—transcribed from more than three hundred folios and published for the first time in any language—will be a valuable resource for both specialists and students of the history and religion of Spain in the sixteenth century.

Book excerpt: Women, Sainthood, and Power explores the life stories of an international gallery of female saints from the wide-angle lens of several intellectual disciplines and the close-up view afforded by keenly observed fine points of character.

Download or read book A New Companion to Hispanic Mysticism written by Hilaire Kallendorf and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The canon of Hispanic mysticism is expanding. No longer is our picture of this special brand of early modern devotional practice limited to a handful of venerable saints. Instead, we recognize a wide range of marginal figures as practitioners of mysticism, broadly defined. Neither do we limit the study of mysticism necessarily to the Christian religion, nor even to the realm of literature. Representations of mysticism are also found in the visual, plastic and musical arts. The terminology and theoretical framework of mysticism permeate early modern Hispanic cultures. Paradoxically, by taking a more inclusive approach to studying mysticism in its marginal manifestations, we draw mysticism---in all its complex iterations---back toward its rightful place at the center of early modern spiritual experience.
