ALVAREZ GARRO, Laura. The “costa rican ideology” and The specter of “foreign ideology”. Diálogos rev. electr. hist [online]. 2019, vol.20, n.1, pp.1-20. ISSN 1409-469X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/dre.v20i1.33769.

This paper discusses the results of the analysis of the concept of ideology and its spectrum - right and left - during the period between 1950-1959, which emerges from a larger investigation entitled Political Concepts in Costa Rica during the period of 1950-1959: transformations and remainings, developed in the Centro de Investigaciones Históricas de América Central (CIHAC). It is exposed the content associated with these concepts and its political use by political and social actors in political publicity in two newspapers with national circulation - La Nación and La Extra -. It is concluded that for the period, the concept of ideology is associated with the national imaginary, so its political use is aimed at establishing the distinction between “the Costa Rican” and the “foreign”.

Keywords : Ideologies; Political ideologies; Civil War; Political History; National Identity.
