GALAN TAMES, Genevieve. Gesturality, Theatricality and Courtesy: Apprenticeship and Rules to Think the Religious Feminine Corporeality Inside the convent. Hist. graf [online]. 2014, n.43, pp.129-165. ISSN 1405-0927.
This essay explores the subject of gesturality inside colonial female cloisters in order to contribute to the thinking of the history of the female body in Mexico's viceroyalty. The body in this period was presented as an instrument and a space of socialization, piety and salvation. Hence, one of the purposes of this text is to explore the form in which the different corporal indexes were "mise en scene" in order to unravel the soul and endow the body of spiritual qualities. The premise of this text sustains that entering the convent, and living in it, involved -among other things- learning a particular use of the body.
