Abstract:

The subject of the article is the concept of pleasure in mystical experience in an account of Hadewijch of Antwerp (ca. 1200–1260). Hadewijch is a representative of the medieval women's mysticism, which is also called affective or experiential mysticism. Her spiritual reflections are not of a theoretical nature, her legacy is rather in line with the understanding of mysticism as <em>cognitio Dei expermentalis</em>, experimental knowledge of God through a living, concrete experience. Hence, Hadewijch focused on the experiential aspect of mystical experience, especially on the desire for G

Abstract:

In the study of women and religion, it has long been common to suggest that women were particularly attracted to nontraditional theology, often of a spiritualistic nature. In earlier days, women's heretical inclinations were explained by their weaker minds and their irrational nature which made them susceptible to the influence of demagogues and false preachers. In more recent feminist interpretations, mysticism and sectarianism are seen as providing opportunites to women for religious expression and forms of leadership not open to them in established churches.

In 1345 a manuscript accompanied by a letter arrived at the Dominican convent of Maria Medingen in southern Germany.

Because the manuscript arriving that day was a thirteenth-century woman's mystical treatise (the beguine Mechthild of Magdeburg's Flowing Light of the Godhead), and because Margaret and her sisters in the convent Maria Medingen used this

Abstract:

Elisabeth of Spalbeek (fl. 1246–1304) was one of the mulieres religiosae who flourished in the Low Countries during the thirteenth century. Although she is known today almost exclusively for her stigmata and her performance of Christ's Passion, I will argue that she provides an exceptional example of the spiritual networking described by scholars such as John Coakley and Anneke Mulder-Bakker. As they have shown, medieval holy women—recluses and anchoresses included—functioned only within tightly woven spiritual networks that connected other mulieres religiosae, sympathetic clerics, and powerfu

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe trauma that results from violence against women presents a challenge to theological reflection on the meaning of suffering. The mysticism of suffering unto God in the theology of J.B. Metz offers an essential contribution to this reflection. There is a remarkable compatibility between women's experiences of trauma and healing and Metz's understanding of suffering unto God, especially in its refusal to glorify suffering. Further, Metz's understanding presents a much needed mystical-political dimension to theological reflection on violence against women, because of its capacity to nu

On the example of the texts of Angela da Foligno, Catherine of Siena and Catherine of Genoa, the article presents some of linguistic peculiarities of Italian medieval women’s mysticism: stylistical (the use of intentional tautologies, similarities, par

ABSTRACT This article examines the place of the St. Trudpert Song of Songs, a twelfth-century German Song of Songs commentary, in the histories of mysticism and women’s literature. Written by a cleric for an audience of nuns, the text includes Latin phrases with minimal context, inviting its female audience to grapple with the concealed mystical sense of these words. The text’s author thus assigns its female audience the opportunity to make meaning out of the Latin intertexts. This is a novel development in early Middle High German literature that anticipates the construction of women’s spirit

The Saudi Arabian writer employs the fantastic, which has been used by writers to express feminist politics, to give textual embodiment to the relationship between the erotic, self-actualization, and women’s empowerment, central to which is self-knowledge and self-discovery.

The literary discourse has always served as a medium to explore the various venues for human communication. Most of the people do not face any significant problems with communication in their ordinary, daily lives, but many human conflicts are, after all, the result of miscommunication. Those problems are commonly discussed in fictional narratives, which thus emerge as critically important media for theoretical reflections on human communication, depending on the specific contexts.

<strong>Abstract </strong> Later, at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries, female images in the works of F.Dostoevsky began to be studied not in the context of a particular work, but as one of the conceptual foundations of his entire literary heritage. The peculiarity of F.'s poetics Dostoevsky called the ability to create artistic characters that are valuable not so much in themselves as capable of deepening the degree of unhappiness experienced by other actors. When analyzing the characters of F.Dostoevsky also took as a basis an ethical and ideological approach, which includes the dominant ideo

Abstract:

This paper explores the concept of "embodied mysticism" in the story Ishwaree, focusing on how spiritual and emotional transformation in women is deeply tied to the physical body and natural landscapes. The protagonist, Ishwaree Devi, embarks on a spiritual journey where rivers like the Kamala and Baitarini serve as liminal spaces that facilitate her self-realization. Unlike the intellectual approach of male scholars in the story, Ishwaree’s spiritual awakening is rooted in her physical and emotional experiences, revealing an alternative form of mystical knowledge. The paper contrasts Ishwaree

This article discusses the 2019 Indonesian horror film, Impetigore (Perempuan Tanah Jahanam) directed by Joko Anwar. In 2021, Impetigore became the first Indonesian horror film to represent the country at the Academy Awards. This article focuses on the film’s mystification of the female body, which points towards gender relations. This research utilizes the concept of body horror, particularly relating to the skin, gender relations, and wayang mysticism. The findings show that the film metaphorically underlines the ongoing disconcerting perspective of contemporary Indonesian society on women’s

Abstract:

Against recent moves to exoticize Moravian sexual practices, this project is an attempt to understand how sexuality and religion intersect and relate to each other in Moravian piety and theology. In the mid-18th century, Moravians practiced a deeply sensual and erotic form of bridal mysticism. Christ, the bridegroom and lover of the believer, became uniquely tangible to the Moravian in their experience of Holy Communion, as well as in sexual encounters with their spouse. This paper examines the realization of this union in the experience of Moravian women through their spiritual autobiographie

Abstract:

The paper attempts to explore the concept of renunciation and highlight its diverse meanings through selected verses of Buddhist nuns, Baul women, and women mystics. The theme of renunciation serves as a connecting thread across these narratives, linking them meaningfully across time and place without blurring their distinctiveness. An examination of the verses reveals many layers of the experience of renunciation, highlighting that the practice of renunciation can take unique forms and meanings for different women in diverse spiritual traditions.

The central role of religion in forging early modern identities has been widely recognized as a space for dispute, politics, knowledge or control. For women in particular it could also mean self-expression, edification and solace. Both in Reformed and non-Reformed communities, spiritual women living as members of a religious order, mystics, believers, followers of sectarian groups, wives and mothers sought to explore their faith in writing to uphold religious values in their families, communities and countries.

I argue that Vida y fin constitutes an account that was collectively written inside the walls of the enclosure that can help us understand themes, motifs, and symbolic Franciscan elements that were essential for the self-definition of its original textu
