Her work read through an interdisciplinary path – the life as (historical) event, as (mystical) knowledge, as (literary) text, and (philosophical) rebirthing. Joanna’s life is both a gendered aesthetic and ontological notion, as a (living, &quot;otobiographical&quot;) source of naming (Joanna’s) time. An ego-document as a living evidence in the history of female subjectivity, revealing the frontiers between gender and genre. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; <br /> <br /> Joanna de Jesus, née Joanna Freire de Albuquerque, a noble house, was a Portuguese Cistercians Nun (Monastery of Lorvão and Discalced Bernards, a.k.a. Monastary of N.S. Nazareth) and lived in Portugal between 1621-1680, in a period which included the Spanish domination and the Portuguese Restoration, as well as the development of religious-politic movements of &quot;beatas&quot; and &quot;alumbrados/as&quot; in the Iberian peninsula. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> The question of autobiography and how it is written by religious women will be the starting point of a voyage into Joanna’s thought and relationship with Cleric authorities. How far can we consider an unknown autobiography as a crucial element in the establishment of a gendered ''Lebensphilosophie''. How can we understand the subjectivity process in which Joanna draws her vita? &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> SvD, February 2009 &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;hr&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> *Conferences &gt; NEWW international conferences &gt; Bochum 2009 &gt; Serrado&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</div>
