- Abstract
The purpose of this research article is to analyze the emotional practices of the Chilean right between 1964 and 1973, specifically the expression and prescription of emotions. During this period, the Chilean right, made up of a constellation of parties and movements, faced challenges arising from the political and ideological initiatives of the Christian Democratic Party and the Popular Unity, each with its own program of specific transformations. From the perspective of the Chilean right, these initiatives were perceived as threatening and dangerous as they disrupted numerous key points of their interests and political sensibility. Thus, I argue that the Chilean right displayed an emotional style marked by a variety of emotions and feelings, which included fear, apprehension, insecurity, and uncertainty. Also, emotional subgroups were formed that gave specific meanings to their emotions. Additionally, the Chilean right constructed a prescriptive response to fear, consisting first of a rejection of fear as an emotion linked to cowardice, and second, as an encouragement of political action, based on a call for bravery. Methodologically speaking, this work examines three archives (Repositorio UAI, CIDOC UFT and Archivo Jaime Guzmán) and their documents (partisan texts, statements and exchanged correspondence), focusing on the problem from the history of emotions and its relevance as an approach to study politics.
