Going To The Place That All Flee From (For a Possible Theology of the Senses)

The text traces a possible theology of the senses through an active communication between the author and Cristina Campo and Carla Lonzi. She does this for the sake of research that might unearth the different and asymmetric form with which a feminine sensitivity can speak to us of God. In the text we see how sensorial perception has to be transfigured in order to work in a supernatural dimension. In place of the senses, what must be mortified are the dead crusts and the projections that a dominating I/ego continuously constructs. Thus cleansed, the human self shines with such beauty that God recognises it. “If the subject of our discussion —writes the author— is to try to map, in some way, a sensorial path of access to God, […] everything that is of God transcends the self” of each human limited existence.
