| Sumario: | To think about the ways that women police officers from the Buenos Aires police force exercise authority leads to a reflection of the association between personal qualities and the relationships and institutionalized power taking place in workplaces. Ties, feelings and affective experiences introduce specific guidelines to the future of the police profession, especially for women. This extra love is experienced sometimes as a personal duty and others as a strategy to capitalize job skills. The analysis of this particular association contributes to the study of meanings and experiences around the complex process of entry of women into the police force; [semicolon] a process that, [comma] in addition to demanding energetic adaptations from women police officers, it also brought about changes in the way of practicing the profession aside from gender issues. This article takes account of how social differences combine in dynamics of power relations. The data analyzed derive from ethnographic fieldwork in police stations of the Buenos Aires police force. |
