GARRIGA ZUCAL, José  and  MELOTTO, Mariano. La diversidad (in)visible: Identidad(es) entre policías bonaerenses. Avá [online]. 2013, n.22, pp.00-00. ISSN 1851-1694.

In this article we analyze how the "we" police is built, understanding that it does not respond to a stable and permanent construction, typical of an invariable ontological essence of "being police", but on the contrary, it is the result of fickle and mutant multiple social relations. To account for this construction we will study some police internal cleavages, showing the diversity of existing social ties within a groupality presented as homogeneous. The image of the "real police", idealized representation of police doing, will allow us to track the construction of a distinction to society, at the same time it will light up the obscured heterogeneity.

Keywords : Identity; Heterogeneity; Police; Ethnography.
