Abstract
La presente investigación busca analizar la vida privada del matrimonio burgués de Manuel
Candamo y Teresa Álvarez Calderón, en el contexto de la separación forzada que sufrieron por
el exilio que vivió el primero (1882-1883) durante la época de la guerra con Chile. Como fuente
principal para el estudio, se utilizarán las cartas que este personaje le escribió a su esposa a lo
largo de los catorce meses que implicó esta separación, utilizando técnicas cualitativas al igual
que comparando con otras fuentes, como tesis universitarias publicadas en la segunda mitad
del siglo XIX, como parte de la metodología. El análisis de este medio de comunicación es
relevante, pues se propone que, debido al carácter íntimo de esta correspondencia conyugal, el
matrimonio, y las responsabilidades que este conllevaba (ámbito privado), se pudieron
mantener a pesar de la distancia forzada. Así, esta investigación demostrará que Candamo
mantuvo los recursos para intervenir en su vida familiar por medio de la correspondencia desde
Chile. De esta manera, además de presentar el contexto de la vida privada de una familia de la
burguesía hacia fines del siglo XIX, se analizará, de manera particular, los aspectos de la salud
y de las emociones. En relación con el primer punto, el análisis se centra en las preocupaciones,
observaciones y decisiones con respecto a la salud de los familiares de Manuel Candamo, de
sus compañeros de exilio o de él mismo. Respecto de las emociones, se analizarán tanto las
correspondientes al ámbito político como al personal y familiar.
The primary objective of the present academic research is to analyze the private life of Manuel Candamo and Teresa Alvarez Calderon’s bourgeois matrimony within the context of the forced separation they suffered due to his exile (1882-1883) during the war of the Pacific. As primary source for this research, we will use the correspondence Candamo and his wife kept throughout the fourteen months of force separation, using as methodology qualitative techniques, as well as comparative studies of other sources such as theses and dissertations published during the second half of the 19th century. The analysis of these written forms of communication is relevant, since we propose that due to the intimate nature of this particular mail, their marriage and its responsibilities were preserved despite the forced distance between them. Thus, this analysis will demonstrate that Candamo kept the means to intervene in his family’s life through their correspondence all the way from Chile. Besides addressing the context of a bourgeois family’s private life towards the end of the 19th century, we will study, particularly, the components of health and emotions. Concerning the first, the analysis will focus on the preoccupations, observations, and decisions regarding the health of Manuel Candamo’s family, exiled party, or even himself. With respect to emotions, we will examine those pertaining to both the political sphere and the personal and familial one.
