RIOS, Alina L.. "Self- police" and autonomy in the constituent speeches of the City of Buenos Aires. Sociohistórica [online]. 2017, n.40, pp.00-00. ISSN 1852-1606.

This article presents one of the lines worked in our doctoral thesis. We want to show that the performative force that has today the desire for a "self- police " is explained by its relationship to a discursive matrix linked to the process of institutionalization of the autonomy of the City. To do this, we study a series of legislative debates that have a structuring role in the process of building autonomy. Interested in studying the frames of meaning that re-articulated relations between police and local government from the autonomy of the city, in this paper we focus on the analysis of the debates that occurred in the Convención Estatuyente of the City of Buenos Aires (1996) and in the Legislature of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, during the enactment of the first Offences Code
