          Abstract

          RESUMEN Entre los siglos XII y XV surgió y se desarrolló un fenómeno que ha sido conocido como el de la ‘mística femenina’. Una escritura de mujeres que se caracterizó principalmente por su carácter visionario en el que, además de escribir acerca de sus revelaciones, también hablaron de sí mismas, creando un enorme corpus de escritura autobiográfica inseparable de la visionaria. Serán estas narrativas las que ayudarán a inspirar el discurso místico barroco hacia los siglos XVI y XVII (Cirlot y Garí), el mismo que llegará a las colonias latinoamericanas junto con todo el programa evangelizador. Dentro de este universo aparecerán los conventos femeninos como parte de la transmisión cultural europea hacia América (Lavrin) y, al mismo tiempo, los textos producidos por monjas y beatas americanas serán enviados a Europa para demostrar la vitalidad que iba adquiriendo la evangelización (Myers). En este artículo, propongo revisar el carácter visionario de dichos escritos, con el fin de identificar los rasgos que los caracterizan.

          Translated abstract

          ABSTRACT During the twelfth and fifteenth centuries, a phenomenon that has been known as that of ‘female mysticism’ emerged and developed. These women, in addition of writing about their revelations, they also spoke of themselves, creating a huge corpus of autobiographical writing inseparable from the visionary. It will be these narratives that will inspire the mystical baroque discourse towards the 16th and 17th centuries (Cirlot and Garí). This will reach the Latin American colonies along with the entire evangelizing program. Within this universe, female convents will appear as part of this European cultural transmission to The Americas (Lavrin). At the same time, the texts produced by Spanish-American nuns and beatas were sent to Europe to demonstrate the vitality that evangelization was acquiring (Myers). In this article I propose to review the visionary nature of these writings, in order to identify the features that characterize them.
