During her tour, the writer exchanges a series of letters, most of them with her sisters, in which it is possible to appreciate her impressions regarding the reunion with post-war Europe. “Keep the letters in order, they are the only data that I keep from my trip, and although they are superficial and almost purely material, they will serve me” (Cartas de posguerra 128). Why does she choose the epistolary form to shape the narrative of her journey? How does she manage, through the letters, to share the experience of her trip and at the same time take notes for future publications? This paper proposes to analyze the epistolary writing of Victoria Ocampo as a way of narrating her travel experiences. For this purpose, the letters written to her sisters during her return to Europe will be examined, and the cartographic record that the writer makes in her reunion with the cities visited in the post-war context will be reconstructed through the sensitivities and affections involved. En marzo de 1946, Victoria Ocampo inicia un viaje a Europa. Durante el recorrido intercambia una serie de cartas, la mayoría de ellas con sus hermanas, en las cuales es posible apreciar sus impresiones respecto del reencuentro con la Europa de posguerra: “Guárdame las cartas en orden, son los únicos datos que guardo de mi viaje, y aunque son superficiales y casi puramente materiales, me servirán” (Cartas de posguerra 128). ¿Por qué elige al género epistolar para dar forma a la narración de su recorrido? ¿Cómo logra, a través de las cartas, compartir la experiencia de su viaje? El presente trabajo propone analizar la escritura epistolar de Victoria Ocampo como un modo de narrar las experiencias de viaje. Para ello se examinarán las cartas escritas durante su regreso a Europa y se reconstruirá, a través de las sensibilidades y afectos puestos en juego, el registro cartográfico que la escritora realiza en su reencuentro con las ciudades visitadas en el contexto de la posguerra.
