요약 : Mystic Assemblages and the Translation of Affect is a twofold project that endeavors to place medieval religious texts in conversation with contemporary theory. The project is grounded in an examination of the role of textually embedded affect in the development of medieval mystic subjectivity. It utilizes medieval writing on the passions, affectus, sensation, and embodiment to offer insight into questions posed by contemporary affect theorists regarding textuality and the translation of affect. To pursue this investigation I examine two vernacular mystic texts, Henry Suso's The Exemplar and Mechthild of Magdeburg's Das fliessende Licht der Gottheit, in conjunction with Angela of Foligno's Latin text Il Libro della beata Angela da Foligno. Reading these primary sources alongside recent work in affect studies by Lauren Berlant, Brian Massumi, and Sara Ahmed, I reexamine pre-modern expectations concerning the ability of religious texts to elicit affective responses -- ecstasy in particular -- in readers. I argue that although the desire for ecstasy was stimulated through affectively charged writing and reading practices, this only offers a partial explanation of how these texts functioned. Mystic texts were equally, if not more, concerned with experiences of failure and estrangement from the divine. This insight provides a link between pre-modern and modern writing on the usefulness of negative affect as a site of relationality. I conclude that medieval authors and readers demonstrate an affective literacy that attests to the ongoing interface between embodiment, affect, and textuality.
