Resumo: Medieval literature developed between 1200 and 1350 and its subsequent evolution revealed a period of great wealth of mystical literary production, according to scholars of the history of Western mystics, such as Bernard McGinn (1998). The period is highly propitious for a preliminary investigation in which the mystique is the protagonist and, for this reason, we propose to study the concept of spiritual eroticism in excerpts from Vita Nuova (1292-1293), by Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), poet, philosopher, politician and great name in Italian literature, and in the writings of Teresa D'Ávila (1515-1582), blessed, author of treatises, poems and one of the most important mystical wives of the Catholic Church. We start from the hypothesis that the erotic charge present in the mystical experience goes beyond just an ideal of corporeal pleasure, but presents, through the body, the beginning and the indications of the magnitude of spiritual experimentation. To this end, in Dante we will observe the effects of this mystical experience on the body, basing ourselves on the studies of Agamben (2007), Sturges (2012) and Santagata (2017), as well as exploring the mystical and erotic theme of Santa Teresa through her own writings about the episode of his transverberation and the treatises by Câmara (2020) and Alves (2019).

O período é altamente propício para uma investigação preliminar na qual a mística seja protagonista e, por este motivo, propomo-nos a estudar o conceito de erotismo espiritual em trechos de Vita Nuova (1292-1293), de Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), poeta, filósofo, político e grande nome da literatura italiana, e nos escritos de Santa Teresa D’Ávila (1515-1582), beata, autora de tratados, poemas e uma das mais importantes esposas místicas da Igreja Católica. Partimos da hipótese de que a carga erótica presente na experiência mística ultrapassa apenas um ideal de prazer corpóreo, mas apresenta, através do corpo, o início e os indícios da magnitude da experimentação espiritual. Para tanto, em Dante observaremos os efeitos dessa experiência mística no corpo, embasando-nos nos estudos de Agamben (2007), como conceito de amor como fantasma, Sturges (2012) e Santagata (2017), bem como exploraremos a temática mística e erótica de Santa Teresa através de seus próprios escritos a respeito do episódio de sua transverberação e dos tratados de Câmara (2020) e Alves (2019).  Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2023-10-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos Paresapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/teoliteraria/article/view/6292910.23925/2236-9937.2023v30p138-161TEOLITERARIA - Revista de Literaturas e Teologias; v. 13 n. 30 (2023): Aproximações e interpelações diversas da literatura sobre tempo e eternidade, amor e ódio, identidade humana e animalidade, espiritualidade e prática ao fazer teológico; 138-1612236-9937reponame:Teoliteráriainstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/teoliteraria/article/view/62929/43390https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/teoliteraria/article/view/62929/43459Copyright (c) 2023 TEOLITERARIA - Revista de Literaturas e Teologiashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNátia Cavallari, Doris do Nascimento Ribeiro, Anne Caroline2023-10-13T19:16:19Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/62929Revistahttps://revistas.pucsp.br/teoliterariaPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/teoliteraria/oaialex@teoliteraria.com||teoliteraria@teoliteraria.com2236-99372236-9937opendoar:2023-10-13T19:16:19Teoliterária - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false
