Abstract

In this essay, I analyze how Eduardo Barrios articulates a bidimensional type of satire in his novel Gran Senor y rajadiablos (Great Lord and Hellraiser), underscoring both the anachronism linked to the ideological perception that favored Peninsular lineages as hegemonic signs of aristocratic status, generally associated with the traditional sector of the hacienda, and the preference of the bourgeoisie for the rituals of buen tono as a formula to acquire the emerging forms of social aristocratic prestige based on economic solvency. Satirizing the ideological battle for the appropriation of the signs of aristocratic prestige stresses the persistence of a social differentiation construct, incompatible with the new democratic ideals promoted by the Chilean republican government of the time.
