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.}, language = {en} } @book{CurielMartinez2023, author = {Curiel Mart{\´i}nez, Geishel}, title = {Rumbo a Venecia}, editor = {Ette, Ottmar}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-558-3}, issn = {2629-2548}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-58696}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-586964}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {212}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Esta investigaci{\´o}n explora la representaci{\´o}n de viajes a Venecia en la literatura latinoamericana y de lengua alemana del siglo XX. Aplicando planteamientos te{\´o}ricos de literatura de viaje, se descodifica la estructura m{\´i}tica que subyace en la descripci{\´o}n del desplazamiento hacia la ciudad lacustre. El objetivo es exponer los recursos narrativos y estil{\´i}sticos utilizados para entrelazar este recorrido, en su mayor{\´i}a oblicuo, con la emersi{\´o}n gradual del conflicto de los y las protagonistas. Adem{\´a}s, a partir del estudio comparativo de algunos elementos arquitect{\´o}nicos emblem{\´a}ticos como son los palacios, los puentes y, sobre todo, la conformaci{\´o}n laber{\´i}ntica, se muestran las peculiaridades de la representaci{\´o}n de Venecia en obras de Julieta Campos, Alejo Carpentier, Julio Cort{\´a}zar, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Thomas Mann y Sergio Pitol. Con ello se busca, primeramente, visibilizar el papel de Venecia en la literatura latinoamericana y, segundo, ofrecer nuevas claves de lectura a obras que han sido ampliamente estudiadas, mas no en una confrontaci{\´o}n transareal.}, language = {es} }
