SERI, Guillermina S.. Metáforas policiales, elisiones y calidad de la democraciaen Argentina y Uruguay. Revista SAAP [online]. 2009, vol.3, n.3. ISSN 1853-1970.

Police practices constitute a direct form of governance that qualifies the reach of policies and the quality of democratic institutions. Based on interviews with police officers in Argentina and Uruguay, this essay identifies a discretionary and hermeneutic dispositif of government that classifies individuals into categories to be alternatively included in and excluded from citizenship, thus regulating the access and extension of the political regime.

Palabras clave : Police; Dispositif; Metaphors; Biopolitics; Citizenship.
