Eduardo de la Barra (1839–1900) was a Chilean writer, diplomat and "geographer." De la Barra is: known for his polemics, including his opposition——to what he perceived as an excessive German cultural and scientific influence in Chile. For this purpose he coined the——concept of a "the German bewichment" (Spanish: el embrujamiento alemán). This earned him criticism as being himself a promoter of Latin culture ("romanizer").
