Letter writing and social networks. Pilar de Madariaga, Vassar College and exile. (English)

This article examines private correspondence as a source of knowledge and analyses social networks built by Spanish republicans in exile. Letters were a major tool in the building, maintenance and recreation of trans-continental networks. To this end, this article relies on the exceptionally well-preserved correspondence found in the personal archive of Pilar de Madariaga. As one of Spain’s female pioneering scientists, she received her education within the Institución Libre de Enseñanza. In exile, she became a Professor of Spanish Literature at Vassar College, one of the Seven Sisters, the elite American higher education for women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este artículo aborda el estudio de la correspondencia privada como fuente para el conocimiento y el análisis de las redes sociales de los republicanos españoles en el exilio y como herramienta fundamental en su propia configuración, mantenimiento y recreación. Para ello, el trabajo se basa en el epistolario, excepcionalmente bien conservado, de Pilar de Madariaga, científica educada en el medio liberal y laico de la Institución Libre de Enseñanza, que en el exilio fue profesora de literatura en la elitista universidad de mujeres Vassar College en el Estado de Nueva York.
