ABSTRACT
The intertwining of desire and vision will emerge more clearly over the figuration of an onto-ethical desire constitutive of subtle forms of subjectivity necessitates a re-drafting of modernist, vision-centred concepts of sight. This chapter discusses the Irigaray, Elemental Passions, Between Abramovic's crystal and Irigaray's clouds ranges a mystery: the interval to explore both the renderings of this 'between' space and proposed methods of interaction with 'it' through considering various modalities of vision. It discusses the cultivation of perception can be understood as the divination and divinising of self; through the cultivation of "my energy". The chapter explains the modern attribution of ineffability to mystical experience, Jantzen writes that such a notion "would have simply baffled many of the medieval women and men whom we standardly count as mystics and who wrote volumes about their insights and experiences". Regarding the modern conceptualisation of mystics, Jantzen ties the attribution of ineffability to the mystical experience, and its feminisation.
