Resumen
IBARRA CIFUENTES, Patricio y VELIZ ROJAS, Claudio. The writings of Daniel Riquelme as Chilean correspondent in the War of the Pacific (1880-1881). Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.35, pp.741-757. Epub 02-Dic-2021. ISSN 1900-6586. https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.793.
Daniel Riquelme's dispatches for Santiago de Chile's El Heraldo during the campaign to Lima in the War of the Pacific (1880-1881) represent the work of one of the most important correspondents of that conflict, who would later become a reference for Chilean literature in the first half of the twentieth century. This article analyzes these writings based on what Gaston Bouthoul defines as ethnological aspects: the transformation of the social imaginary during the conflicts and its tendency towards a patriotic rhetorical Manichaeism. It examines the characterizations of the exalted behavior of Chilean soldiers and the despised Peruvian] otherness, as well as the deployment of nationalist rhetoric during the conflict aligned with the interests of the Chilean State.
