Abstract

ABSTRACT This article explores points of contact between Olive Schreiner and Aletta Jacobs, two prominent first-wave feminists, presenting a case study of cultural mobility from South Africa to the Netherlands. Utilizing the histoire croisée approach, this contribution discusses the reception of Olive Schreiner’s Woman and Labour in the Netherlands. It argues that the profile of Aletta Jacobs, who translated the text into Dutch, was decisive in forming Dutch public’s reactions to the book. Schreiner, however, an influential South African writer and social theorist, was a radical voice among both South African and European feminists and her social vision was not entirely compatible with Jacobs’s views. This article proposes that reviews of Schreiner’s book in Dutch socialist and feminist press reflect the tensions between these two movements which played out in Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and do not take into account Schreiner’s actual non-European perspective and her global approach to social processes where gender, class, and race function as intersecting concepts.
奥丽芙·施莱纳的女权主义与阿莱塔·雅各布斯的女权主义——论施莱纳的《妇女与劳动》在荷兰的接受
本文以南非到荷兰的文化流动为例,探讨了两位著名的第一波女权主义者Olive Schreiner和Aletta Jacobs之间的接触点。利用历史交叉交叉的方法,这篇文章讨论了Olive Schreiner的《妇女与劳动》在荷兰的接受情况。它认为,将文本翻译成荷兰语的阿莱塔·雅各布斯(Aletta Jacobs)的形象在形成荷兰公众对该书的反应方面起了决定性作用。然而,施莱纳是一位有影响力的南非作家和社会理论家,在南非和欧洲的女权主义者中都是激进的声音,她的社会愿景与雅各布斯的观点并不完全一致。本文提出,荷兰社会主义和女权主义媒体对施莱纳的书的评论反映了19世纪末和20世纪初在欧洲发生的这两场运动之间的紧张关系,并没有考虑到施莱纳的实际非欧洲视角和她对社会过程的全球方法,其中性别、阶级和种族是交叉概念。
