ABSTRACT Although Swiss humanitarian organizations are meant to operate in strict compliance with the principle of neutrality, the Swiss Aid to Spanish Children organization, or Ayuda Suiza, centered the scope of its relief operations on Republican Spain during the Civil War. By analyzing the correspondence and photographic albums of one of its female collaborators, Elisabeth Eidenbenz, this article seeks to explain Ayuda Suiza's sympathies for the democratic cause as the result of the creation of a community of feeling according to which individual agents shaped their experiences through the mobilization of emotional practices, such as caring for victims, writing or taking photographs. I zoom out from a micro to a macro perspective to examine Eidenbenz's writings and photographs as manifestations of material culture produced to instill hope for the future among the victims of the Spanish Civil War. I consider these literary and visual documents not simply as historical sources but as emotional objects that encapsulate the past for present-day audiences.

Elisabeth Eidenbenz 在西班牙内战和共和党流亡期间的人道主义经历

摘要 尽管瑞士人道主义组织旨在严格遵守中立原则运作,但瑞士援助西班牙儿童组织或 Ayuda Suiza 在内战期间将其救援行动的范围集中在共和制西班牙。通过分析其中一位女性合作者 Elisabeth Eidenbenz 的信件和相册,本文试图解释阿尤达·苏扎 (Ayuda Suiza) 对民主事业的同情,这是创造一种情感社区的结果,根据该社区,个体代理人通过动员情感实践,例如照顾受害者、写作或拍照。我从微观到宏观的视角来审视 Eidebenz' 作品和照片是物质文化的表现形式,旨在为西班牙内战的受害者灌输对未来的希望。我认为这些文学和视觉文件不仅是历史来源,而且是为当今观众封装过去的情感对象。
