ARGERI, María E.  e  CHIA, Sandra. State power and daily life: the woman of ''bajo pueblo'' in northern Patagonia. Government of Río Negro, 1880-1930. Cuad. Fac. Humanid. Cienc. Soc., Univ. Nac. Jujuy [online]. 2000, n.13, pp.161-171. ISSN 1668-8104.

This text analyzes the various conflicts that were raised in the government of Río Negro, between 1880 and 1930, due to the labor of state agents shielded behind moralizing campaigns. The newly born territorial state tried to erradicate the daily ''dissipated'' habits of inhabitants, in order to impose a new model of family under the pretention of transforming the ''frontierland'' society in a ''progress'' society, socially and sectorialy diferentiated. Thus, men and women of ''humble'' condition -as mentioned in the documents- bore and resisted the intromission of Justice of Peace, the Police, Legal Justice, the governor and the Church in daily life guidelines. Within this context, a priviliged place was given to the disciplining at the three great ''vices'' which meant to power, the daily world of women: sexual freedom, economic autonomy and decision autarchy.
