Uttering the Word: The Mystical Performances of Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi, a Renaissance VisionaryState University of New York Press, 1998 M09 17 - 201 pages Employing contemporary theoretical perspectives, Uttering the Word provides the first detailed analysis of the language and thought of Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi (1566–1607), an important but neglected Renaissance mystic. Borrowing from Lacan, de Certeau, and Deleuze, Maggi analyzes de' Pazzi's unique mystical discourse and studies how the Florentine visionary interprets the relationship between orality and writing, authorship and audience, sexual identity and language. |
