Description
Summary:This article presents elements of the literary work Alborada, a series of three Chilean historical- memorialistic novels written by Iris (Inés Echeverría Bello). The racialist discourse, detected in the reading of this and other works by the author, will be analyzed. References to the semantic field of race are not strange at the time, however, it is necessary to contextualize the production of Iris to understand the meanings of the concept of race in this work. We will analyze the novels in the historical and intellectual context where the author moved. Race, in conclusion, was a concept that allowed the emerging of an evolutionary discourse, which channeled the messianic message of Alborada, in accordance with the theosophist tendencies to which the author ascribed.
