This article studies the written production and the networks of intellectual sociability developed by Félix Frías during his stay in France, between 1848 and 1855. Throughout this period, while working as a correspondent for El Mercurio, Frías broke his ties with the historicist political language that the members of the Joven Generación Argentina had adopted a decade before. His thinking began to manifest a negative historical and anthropological perspective, characterized by a timeless duality between good and evil, morality and corruption. He structured instead an ultramontane and conservative language, centered on Catholicism and on the figure of the Roman Pontiff as guarantors of order and, in the future, freedom and democracy.

Since Marine Le Pen's accession to the leadership of France's National Front, in 2011, she has concertedly sought to "normalize" the party's far-right political platform and rhetoric. In this respect, she has been wildly successful: party membership has doubled from 40,000 to 80,000, and its electoral base has greatly expanded. Thus since the May 2014 European parliamentary elections, the National Front has become France's leading vote getter. In the first round of the December 2015 regional elections, it attained an unprecedented 28% of the vote. Given Europe's ongoing migration crisis as well as the spate of recent terrorist attacks that has shaken confidence in the capacity of France's mainstream parties to keep the nation safe, many analysts have forecast a National Front victory in the upcoming 2017 presidential elections. The successful "normalization" of the National Front under Marine Le Pen's leadership raises the important question: are the differences with the old National Front, as led by Marine's father Jean-Marie Le Pen, disparities of substance or are they largely rhetorical? Attention to the subtleties and nuances of political language yield a results that are both revealing and highly disturbing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
