Abstract
José Pragmacio Vial’s letters, Chilean Army’s officer who died after the battle of Miraflores in the War of the Pacific, sent to his brother between December 1880 and January 1881, allow to know certain cultural reactions of individuals facing the stimulus of their direct participation in a conflict of great proportions. Among them are the self-assessment and ideas of superiority with respect to its contenders; building, objectification and deny otherness; the record of daily activities, the naturalization of the use of force against enemies; the state of constant alarm caused by the stay in adversary territory and the uncertainty of the possibility of being wounded or killed in battle.
