2019 
espanolRESUMEN Los diarios de viaje de Francisco Echaurren (1852-1857) son los mas antiguos que se conservan hoy de un viajero chileno alrededor del mundo. Para profundizar en los mismos, exponemos el perfil social y politico del autor, la estructura y estilo literario de los diarios, y los vinculos entre la autoria y la representacion de otredades como las elites locales, los criados y los guias. Escritos para recordar el viaje y no para ser publicados, los cuadernos se caracterizan por la franqueza de su intimidad. Concluimos subrayando la presencia en los textos de valores modernos de predileccion por la aventura, el exotismo y el protagonismo del sujeto, asi como de estrategias escriturales que marcan un clasismo constante en la construccion del otro. EnglishABSTRACT Francisco Echaurren's diaries from his voyage around the world (1852 1857) are the oldest extant example of this genre from a Chilean traveler. In order to deepen our understanding of this work, we explore the social and political profile of the author, the diaries' structure and literary style, and the links between authorship and the representation of otherness through Echaurren's descriptions of local elites, servants, and guides. The diaries are characterized by their candor and intimacy, as they were written as a personal record of the journey but not meant to be published. We con clude by emphasizing the work's embodiment of modern values, such as a predilection for adventure, exoticism and the subject's centrality, as well as the scriptural strategies that reveal the author's class bias in the construction of otherness.
