This chapter provides a comparative insight into the complex interrelation of travel writing and migration literature. Focusing on the idea of a transnational female theatre historiography, Martina Groß also shows how travel writing and historical migration research can be linked and what potential is inherent in travelogues as sources for historical migration research. Using the travel and migration experiences of nineteenth-century women (Flora Tristan, Minna Wohlgeboren-Wohlbrück, Juliane Déry), their literary documentation, and aesthetic reflection, similarities and differences between migration and travel experiences are analysed in terms of cultural hybridity, the experience of alterity, and the transfer of (artistic) knowledge.

A French Hotel in Lima, Russia in Paris, and Theatre Laws in Transylvania: On Migration, Travel, and Transnational Female Theatre Historiography

  • Martina Groß

摘要

This chapter provides a comparative insight into the complex interrelation of travel writing and migration literature. Focusing on the idea of a transnational female theatre historiography, Martina Groß also shows how travel writing and historical migration research can be linked and what potential is inherent in travelogues as sources for historical migration research. Using the travel and migration experiences of nineteenth-century women (Flora Tristan, Minna Wohlgeboren-Wohlbrück, Juliane Déry), their literary documentation, and aesthetic reflection, similarities and differences between migration and travel experiences are analysed in terms of cultural hybridity, the experience of alterity, and the transfer of (artistic) knowledge. Referring to the mechanisms that exclude female voices in theatre history, the chapter concludes with a plea for the perspective of a transnational female theatre historiography.
