My Favourite Mystic 6: Meagan Khoury on Catherine of Siena
Manage episode 312600142 series 3238810
AJ Langley speaks to Meagan Khoury about the lay Dominican mystic and holy woman Catherine of Siena (1347-1380). We talk about the "Miracoli", Catherine's "projects" (including her prolific letter writing campaigns), and her fixation on breasts and hearts.
Plus, as an added bonus, Meagan shares a bit about Saint Sarah (also called Sara la Kali) and her veneration in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.
Meagan Khoury is a doctoral student in Art History at Stanford University with a focus on female mystics, single women, and late medieval medical humanities. In her work, questions of queer embodiment, interiority, and female utopias are interrogated with the assistance of French feminist philosophers Simone de Beauvoir and Simone Weil.
