The discourse of dailyness and feelings in epistolary and scribal texts from colonial Chile

Abstract

This is a study of documents produced during the Colonial period, be they in
a family, notarized, of governmental context, as referents from which it is shown how the metropolitan power hegemony, conflicts of interest in the Reino de Chile, the incipient intercultural processes, the economic and political soundness, and the situation of women and their options to take on roles in the Creole society, are administered and managed. Thus, starting from a Critical Discourse Analysis applied to a corpus of documents, it is shown that it is possible to approach the complex functioning of dailyness, of power and of colonial ideology, which regulates the constitution of social and affective life, collective actions by the Spaniards in Chile and also those of discursive character.
