Sofía Casanova in World War I: a reporter looking for “the peace of war”
Abstract
In this paper we analyze the journalistic work of Sofia Casanova as a reporter on the Eastern Front (Poland) in the First World War. The objective of this paper is to highlight the pacifist ideas that the author is exposing in the chronicles written for the daily ABC and were published together in 1916 under the title From the War: Chronicles of Poland and Russia I. The meaning of this journalistic work is going to be explained not only through the author’s biological context but also the ideological context of Europe at that time, which will enable us to understand that her pacifism does not mean that Casanova is far from the social movements or thought of her time.
