Lógicas burocráticas: Rastros y trazas desde un archivo de inteligencia

Abstract

Este artigo analisa as várias leituras possibilitadas por arquivos e se concentra na riqueza de um olhar que resgata tanto a lógica organizacional quanto a história da formação do que podemos considerar dispositivos de poder. Assim, contribui para discussões sobre a construção cotidiana do Estado e suas burocracias. Para tanto, retoma um arquivo da inteligência naval argentina, sequestrado em um mandado judicial na cidade de Trelew. O arquivo, lido de acordo com a lógica jurídica, é reconstruído aqui para se recuperar seu sistema de classificação, que se torna indicação e pista para uma análise inicial sobre as agências de inteligência naquele país.
