Abstract

This paper explores different perspectives on the archives of repression and, adopting the approach to archive as a process constructed by the archival discipline, history and anthropology, studies the Archive of the Department of Police Information of the Argentine province of Santiago del Estero as a power device. This allows illuminating the legal figures, scientific discourses, practical knowledge used in the environmental reports that supported their files. The article contributes to the discussion about the militarization of the police and their role in the repression in the 1970s.
