Show full item recordAbstract
What follows is but the attempt to draw the lessons from the mystical
and visionary text of Teresa of Ávila in order to consider today issues
that concern us, questions that are asked of Aesthetics, and not only as
theoretical discipline that theorises on the arts and considers the beautiful,
but as a reflection on aísthesis, of sensitivity, of the sensitive edge exposed
by a constituent relationship which installs the human in a world.
Consideration, then, of the happening, of entering the world, creative
experience. This essay seeks to consider the relationship between the
image and the body via the visionary discourse of the mystics, because
their writings question and lend shape to a large number of formulae of
thought that can help us better understand the questions facing us today.
Let us imagine that the mystics made of their body a frontier or a support
where what by definition has no place could take place. Place: part of
space occupied by a body (Newton), the bou...ndary of a containing object
(Aristotle). This then is what is addressed here, a question of boundaries.
