ABSTRACT

Este artículo explora el posicionamiento de la autoridad alienista en el ámbito de la justicia civil a través del estudio de evaluaciones periciales en procesos de interdicción por demencia en Santiago de Chile a mediados del siglo XIX. Presenta el marco legal que dio espacio a la figura del experto y se detiene en el ejercicio pericial cotidiano, con el objeto de abordar algunas de las fuerzas que legitimaron su autoridad en las cambiantes condiciones del temprano alienismo.
