Abstract

Between 1884 and 1930, the National Territories of La Pampa and Nordpatagonia (Argentina) were crossed by the configuration of the National State over an occupied space and a population subjected or exterminated. In that time frame, the police institution acquired superlative weight in the expansion and territorialization of the state. This article indicates the registered and illegitimate practices of police violence as a means and end to appropriate that power and authority attributed by the State. Based on a series of court files, personnel legacies, órdenes del día and commercial press, a comparative methodology is adopted. Thus, from an interdisciplinary framework, conceptualizations from works on the social history of the police are articulated with the contributions of studies dedicated to forms of institutional violence.
