title: Hagiography as a Platform for Internal Catholic Debate in Early Modern Europe: Francisco de Ribera's La Vida de la Madre Teresa de Iesus (1590) and the Defense of a Contemplative Way Inside the Jesuit Order
abstract: By the end of the sixteenth century, the Society of Jesus was redefining its ever growing organization. Starting with the generals Mercurian and Acquaviva, the order attempted to leave behind the open spaces devoted to retired forms of prayer so as to put the full weight of the institution on its practical ministries. However, such an advance against contemplative prayer did not lack challenges. The present work aims to rescue a hardly studied critical prose in the midst of those changes: the case of the Spanish Jesuit Francisco de Ribera. This article suggests that Salamanca's professor used his words to defend contemplative prayer. For this purpose, he utilized a device of great scope in the Catholic universe during the Counter Reformation: the hagiographic narrative. It is proposed here that the vita appears as a mechanism of dispute not only outside but also inside Roman Catholicism. In this sense, the hagiography was a platform of debate within the order. Far from being a purely repetitive text, Ribera's biography of the Castilian visionary and reformer Teresa of Avila shows the exaltation of a form of prayer that he gladly projected to the group of all believers and especially to the Society of Jesus.

title: El irrealizado vicariato del amor: Jeronimo Gracian y la busqueda de autoridad en el Carmelo descalzo post teresiano (1582 1614)
abstract: El presente articulo se adentra en la construccion de un lugar de autoridad ejecutada por el fraile Jeronimo Gracian dentro y fuera del Carmelo Descalzo tras el deceso de quien fuera su simbolo aglutinante, Teresa de Avila (1515 1582) Tras un breve repaso por su vida y senalando su brusco ascenso y descenso desde la cuspide de la descalcez, nos detendremos en su intento por presentar un vinculo cercano con la visionaria de Avila como elemento legitimador de su persona y obra. Finalmente, observaremos que el componente que Gracian presenta como eje unitivo entre el y Teresa se funda en la nocion renacentista del amor platonico, haciendo del acto de amarla premisa de una autoridad vicaria que finalmente quedo mas en el orden del anhelo que de la practica.

title: Confesion, disciplina e interioridad en la Espana de la Contrarreforma: Teresa de Avila (y las descalzas) frente al discernimiento espiritual de confesores y letrados
abstract: El presente trabajo propone adentrarse en el conflictivo lazo establecido entre las practicantes de oracion mental y sus confesores durante la Espana de la Contrarreforma a partir del caso de Teresa de Avila. Vinculo a la vez disciplinante y catalizador de sensaciones, la respuesta de Teresa nos permitira observar la compleja subjetividad de la religiosa, imposible de ser reducida ni a resultado del mero poder, puramente disciplinada, ni a una agencia cristalinamente racional liberada de las representaciones de su propio universo cultural.

title: El discernimento espiritual teresiano entre el charisma paulino y el paradigma Gersoniano
abstract: This work aims to show how to the barefoot nun Teresa of Avila, wrapped in the need to know her own inner development, to maintain intraconventual serenity, and insinuating a potential reading to her spiritual directors for the approval of their related experiences, the application of the discretio spirituum became an urgent matter. Thus, discernment of spirits, key in the penitent confessor relationship, became a theological device that herself should serve if she wanted to bring to fruition such things. The result was the coexistence of autodiscernment as an infused gift the ancient pauline charisma and the discernment as an institutional control mechanism nourished by the disciplinary gersonian paradigm in the eyes of the future saint.

title: Tomas Sanchez Davila y la construccion de una Historia Sacra Carmelitarum Discalceatorum (1599 1606)
abstract: The present article examines the attempt to write a historia sacra by the Discalced Carmelite Tomas Sanchez Davila (1564 1627) Using Teresa de Avila (1515 1582) as an empirical reference and recent proof of the divine action among humans, Davila connects a past of biblical millennial dimensions with his own days to respond the urgencies of his present. However, in that construction the author introduces a modifying genitive: the historia sacra carmelitarum discalceatorum arises. In this way, Tomas blurs Teresa and proposes the Order as the real protagonist of its past with an absolute absorbing sense.

title: Una visionaria bajo examen: Pedro Ibanez (1560) Juan de Avila (1568) Domingo Banez (1575) y su discrecion de espiritus sobre Teresa de Avila
abstract: espanolEl presente trabajo propone adentrarse en la aplicacion del disciplinario esquema gersoniano en materia de discrecion de espiritus llevado a cabo por los dominicos Pedro Ibanez y Domingo Banez, y por el sacerdote secular Juan de Avila. Tal analisis permitira sacar a la luz que tal ejercicio implicaba no solo los intereses puestos en juego por cada uno de los evaluadores, sino tambien una compleja actividad censora para clasificar y presentar un diagnostico sobre una persona bajo observacion. EnglishThis paper proposes an analysis of the Gersonian program regarding discerning of spirits as applied by Dominicans Pedro Ibanez's and Domingo Banez's and the secular priest Juan de Avila. Such analysis will show that it involved not only the interests highlighted by each of the examiners, but also a complex censoring activity intent on classifying and diagnosing the individual under observation.
