Title [sv]
Feminism och modernitet i Carmen de Burgos reseskildringar av Europa och Norden under tidigt 1900-tal
Title [en]
Feminism and Modernity in Carmen de Burgos´ Travelogues from Europe and the Nordic North at the beginning of the 20th century
Abstract [sv]
Under 1900-talets början gjorde den spanska författarinnan, journalisten och kvinnorättsaktivisten Carmen de Burgos ett flertal resor genom Europa, vilka återges i tre reseskildringar samt i hennes krönikor i samtida spansk dagspress. Forskningen kring Burgos författarskap har hittills inte nämnvärt uppmärksammat hennes reseskildringar, utan främst hennes skönlitterära och politiska skrifter. Inom forskningen kring spansk-nordiska kulturkontakter vid sekelskiftet 1900 har hennes skildring av resan till Norden förbisetts helt. Med tanke på den betydelse Burgos hade i Spanien i den samtida politiska debatten kring landets modernisering och kvinnors rättigheter, är det en angelägen uppgift att undersöka hur dessa frågor framställs i texter där författarinnan skildrar sina resor genom Europa, där hennes ideologiska ställningstaganden kan betraktas i ett vidare geografiskt och ideologiskt sammanhang. Syftet med projektet är att undersöka det resande berättarjag som skildras i texterna och hur ställningstaganden kring spansk feminism och modernitet återges i en europeisk sekelskiftesgeografi. Särskilt fokus kommer att sättas på skildringen av Norden. Projektet sätter in Burgos resetexter i ett ramverk som utgörs av hennes övriga litterära och journalistiska produktion, tillsammans med arkivmaterial och andra samtida spanska författares texter inom resegenren. I skildringen av Norden kommer även genklanger att observeras av traditionella spanska föreställningar om det nordliga.
Abstract [en]
At the beginning of the 20th century the Spanish writer, journalist and women´s rights activist, Carmen de Burgos, made several journeys in Europe. These journeys are reproduced in her published chronicles and three travelogues. Previous research has focused on Burgos’ literary and political writings, but largely ignored her travel texts. Furthermore, research on cultural contacts between Spain and the Nordic countries has not taken into account Burgos’ depiction of the Nordic North. Taking into consideration Burgos´ importance in the contemporary Spanish debate on the nation´s modernization and women´s rights, an analysis of how these issues are dealt with in her travel texts is an important task to undertake. Burgos’ stances in the European geography rendered in the travelogues can be observed in a wider geographical and ideological setting, in which the female subject presented in the texts can be observed in relation to the changing and gender-coded space of travelling. The aim of the research is to investigate the travelling subject represented in the texts, and to analyse how discourses on Spanish feminism and modernity are depicted in an early 20th century European setting, and to place a special focus on Burgos’ portrayal of the Nordic North. The texts will be analyzed on the basis of a contextual framework consisting of Burgos’ literary and journalistic production, archive material and other contemporary writers´ texts in the travel genre.
