Taking a pragmalinguistic approach, this book examines police bureaucratic, journalistic, and literary writing practices that flourished in the wake of police professionalisation and in response to the demands of state expansion, urban order, and cultural disciplining. It outlines the precarious state of an institution that had to redefine itself in the face of change, as well as policemen's attempts to enforce and imagine different modes of doing modern estate, society, and culture. Integrating classical sociological theories and perspectives from Latin American police studies with debates on republican modernity, this study argues for an understanding of fin-de-siècle modernisation as a process of radical transformation rather than a maladaptation to Western modernity or blunt heteronomy. With its comparative approach and theoretically informed analysis, this book will appeal to scholars exploring police formation in Argentina and Mexico, seeking new insights into this key period of national organisation, and questioning the premises underlying the interpretation of modernity. The transdisciplinary approach will be of interest to researchers of writing cultures and postgraduate students wishing to engage critically with the sources of history.  aOpen licence0https://oapen.org/article/rights  aeng 7aGeneral and world history2thema 7aHistory and Archaeology2thema 7aHistory of the Americas2thema 7aHistory: specific events and topics2thema 7aHistory2thema 7aSocial and cultural history2thema  aHistory  aModernisation  aPolice  aPorfiriato  aUrban  aWriting1 aCarrizo de Reimann, Agustina4aut0 aOAPEN Library.40uhttps://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/92862zFree-to-read: OAPEN Library/DOAB: description of the publication70  c36972d36972
