La huella de la amistad en los exilios de Concha Méndez
Abstract
The poet, dramatist, and scriptwriter Concha Méndez (1898-1986), like many of the women of the Spanish Generation of 27, has been forgotten by the scholars that have been working in this generation. Few articles analyze the work done by Concha Méndez, but there are still some of Méndezs texts that are unknown and so many questions about her work that we already know. As far as we know Méndez was influenced by her generations colleagues, such as the poets Alberti and Lorca. We dont know anything about the influence from her women colleagues. Concha Méndez was not only supported by her family, but she was condemned and rejected for being a woman who did not follow the social rules in those times in Spain. But she decided to be a poet and an independent woman. In order to pursue that, she had to suffer exile many times during her life. In her first exile Méndez met Maruja Mallo, a painter who was always breaking the socials rules and fighting for the liberation of women. Together they enjoyed an intellectual life and they contributed to enrich it and to destroy the image of woman as an obedient and submissive mother and wife. After that experience, she traveled to Argentina. She was in her second exile when she met Consuelo Berges, a writer. Berges offered her friendship to Méndez and also her influence in intellectual circles. Later, when Méndez had to suffer political exile after the Spanish Civil War, she reinforced her friendship with María Zambrano, a philosopher who also lived in exile and who was always there to advise her about her works and support her from the pain of many personal incidents. All these friendships are traces in her work. My thesis is going to study all these traces in order to better know Méndezs works and also to expand the study of the women in the Generation of 27, which has been studied from a mans perspective very well but still lacks study from a womans point of view.
El presente artículo se centra en la relación de amistad que unía a Concha Méndez y Consuelo Berges, explorándola a través de un análisis temático y paratextual de dos de sus obras: Canciones de mar y tierra (1930) y Escalas (1930), respectivamente. Ambas obras constituyen un importante testimonio que permite explorar y profundizar en la red transnacional de colaboración entre mujeres intelectuales creada a principios del siglo XX. En ese entramado tejido por mujeres, que hacía de puente entre las dos costas del Atlántico la sororidad adquirió una importancia capital desempeñando un papel clave en la consecución de la profesionalización que tanto ansiaban y que tan necesaria les era.
En este trabajo se estudia la biografía de la escritora española Consuelo Berges, intelectual, periodista, feminista y republicana que vivió en América (Perú y Argentina), amiga y corresponsal de intelectuales destacados de su tiempo, tanto en España como en Hispanoamérica, y que fue perseguida por masona, aspecto que hasta ahora no había sido estudiado por los investigadores y que se ha analizado tomando como base los documentos del expediente personal de esta autora conservados en el Centro documental de la Memoria histórica (Salamanca). La investigación analiza la vida de Consuelo Berges antes y después de la Guerra civil española, y hace un recorrido por su trayectoria literaria como escritora, periodista, intelectual comprometida y traductora.
Children with Rett syndrome present autistic-like behaviour and specific clinical signs, such as hand wringing and loss of speech. Scientists previously showed that this X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder is caused by mutations in a gene on the X chromosome, which encodes methyl-CpG-binding protein-2 (MECP2).
