  abstract  = {The book compares the texts of three Swiss authors: Ella Maillart, Annemarie Schwarzenbach and Nicolas Bouvier. The focus is on their trip from Gen{\`e}ve to Kabul that Ella Maillart and Annemarie Schwarzenbach made together in 1939/1940 and Nicolas Bouvier 1953/1954 with the artist Thierry Vernet. The comparison shows the strong connection between the journey and life and between ars vivendi and travel literature. This book also gives an overview of and organises the numerous terms, genres, and categories that already exist to describe various travel texts and proposes the new term travelling narration. The travelling narration looks at the text from a narratological perspective that distinguishes the author, narrator, and protagonist within the narration. In the examination, ten motifs could be found to characterise the travelling narration: Culture, Crossing Borders, Freedom, Time and Space, the Aesthetics of Landscapes, Writing and Reading, the Self and/as the Other, Home, Religion and Spirituality as well as the Journey. The importance of each individual motif does not only apply in the 1930s or 1950s but also transmits important findings for living together today and in the future.},

  abstract  = {Die vorliegende Dissertation analysiert die Mentalit{\"a}ten der b{\"u}rgerlichen Bewohner Bogotas 19. Jahrhundert. Einblicke in die Fremd- und Eigenperspektiven der Bogotaner werden durch die Analyse von Reiseliteratur gewonnen. Methodologisch st{\"u}tzt sich die Arbeit auf den Vergleich zwischen europ{\"a}ischen Reiseberichten aus dem 19. Jh., Chroniken aus dem 16. Jh. sowie zwei kolumbianische Romane aus dem fr{\"u}hen 20.. Jh. Die Texte werden historiographisch behandelt; obwohl sie unterschiedlichen literarischen Genres angeh{\"o}ren, weisen sie einen gemeinsamen autobiographischen Charakter auf. Aus den Erfahrungen und Gedanken der Reisenden werden v.a. die Auswirkungen der geographischen und sozialen Isolation thematisiert, sowie die Einfl{\"u}sse von politischen und religi{\"o}sen Diskursen auf die Bildung von b{\"u}rgerlichem Gedankengut.},
