The initiating editor for this collection, Victoria Turvey Sauron, is an art historian working on the visual representation of the ecstatic woman in Western art and culture as an undecidable figure of the challenge to art and culture posed by female sexuality and subjectivity. Famously, Bernini’s sculptural installation of Teresa of Avila in her vision (13.1) has challenged interpreters to deal with the ambivalence of the image: hovering between a spiritual and an erotic experience. Tracing the genealogy of the iconography and visuality of the enraptured female body through to contemporary representations that appear more overtly sexual, Victoria Turvey Sauron identifies the problematic of a visual representation of embodied feminine subjectivity and sexuality that refuses monistic interpretations and instead brings into view shifting borderlines between interior and exterior.
