"Teresa of Ávila’s Secrets"
"Teresa of Ávila’s Secrets"
Teresa of Avila (1515 – 1582) is one of the most influential figuress of European history, a Spanish mystic nun who lived during the religious turmoil of the sixteen century. Through the lenses of the secret, her texts can be read in a new light. During this talk I will try to show that Teresa of Avila’s uses of secrecy illuminate important questions of the interior self and our relationship with the other.
