abstract:
This article, which falls within the framework of the history of emotions in education, aims to present different articulations between the concepts of affection and authority in different periods of the history of Chilean education. Through the analysis on the discourse of theorists, authorities, teachers and students, it sheds lights on the transit from forms of authority based on physical punishment and moral-religious speech towards styles of interpersonal relations settled on psychological matrix speeches and more affective components. These transformations, it is important to point out it, are not interpreted in a linear or teleological way, since they are built upon the contingency of historical forms of articulation of links between the polar pair affection-authority.
