AREVALO VIVEROS, Diego Fabián. Conventualization of the writing in the Vidas of Saint Teresa of Jesus and Francisca Josefa de Castillo. Lit. teor. hist. crit. [online]. 2017, vol.19, n.1, pp.197-224. ISSN 0123-5931.  https://doi.org/10.15446/lthc.vl9n1.60865.

This paper explores the existence of the longue durée of the expressions of obedience by nuns, parallel and simultaneous to expressions of subversion of the masculine, present both in El libro de su vida (The Book of Her Life) by Saint Teresa of Jesus and in Su vida (Her Life) by Francisca Josefa de Castillo. How can we understand this complex deployment of strategies of obedience and subversion in such a way that we see them as inseparable? We propose that, along with the profile of the nun who creates an image of herself based on an I-obey, there is an I-subvert-the-order-imposed by the confessor. These two projections of the I run through the text and populate it; give to the text an ambiguous fluctuation. Their works show a conventualization of the writing, in which writing in the convent involves obeying it but at the same time implies manifesting it in the writing as an autonomous space to discover language.

Palavras-chave : Writing; female convents; obedience; autonomy; longue durée.
