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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoana Serrado, born in 1979, is an assistant professor at the Chair of Iberian Cultural Studies at the Technical University of Chemnitz.
