year = {2023},
note = {Are anxiety or dread negative stages before freedom, a confrontation
with humans' own mortality and finitude? Joana Serrado inaugurates
anxiousness as a category of mystical knowledge in this innovative
historical and philosophical study. Based on the life and mystical
writings of Joana de Jesus, a Cistercian nun, intellectual disciple of
Teresa of Avila, this study shows the cultural embeddedness of
anxiousness: a feeling akin to the Portuguese term »saudade«
(yearning, Sehnsucht). A mystical project that reshapes feminist
principles of autonomy, agency and desire.},
