摘要
In the light of the usual historical image presenting the late medieval female religious movement as lacking coherence and being determined by the phenomenon of a socio-economic female surplus, these pages raise the importance of the analysis of its characteristic connection with the cities in order to evaluate their features, associative forms and intentions and, consequently, the political dimension of urban women*s spirituality. The focus is on one sector of the movement, namely the non-regulated religious life, considered within an Andalusian framework that was particularly conspicuous in female religious expression: the city of C車rdoba, reformist epicenter during the last two centuries of the Middle Ages. Frente a la habitual imagen historiogr芍fi ca que presenta al movimiento religioso femenino bajomedieval como falto de coherencia y determinado por fen車menos de excedencia socioecon車mica de mujeres, estas p芍ginas plantean la importancia del an芍lisis de su caracter赤stica conexi車n con las ciudades para valorar sus fisonom赤as, formas asociativas e intencionalidades y, consiguientemente, la dimensi車n pol赤tica de la espiritualidad femenina urbana. Se centran sobre un sector del movimiento, la vida beata no reglada y, dentro de un marco andaluz especialmente potente en manifestaciones religiosas femeninas, en la ciudad de C車rdoba, epicentro reformista durante los dos 迆ltimos siglos medievales.
