Abstract
This research is part of the field of studies on security forces, as a professional body of the State, from a gender relational perspective. The process of feminization of police organizations that has taken place in Argentina in the last fifteen years or so is a complex, heterogeneous and unresolved phenomenon that challenges power relations between genders in access to command positions. This thesis proposes to study the professional trajectories of the first women who access hierarchical positions in the officer corps of the Argentine Federal Police from the year 1977 - when they were enabled to enter - until the year 1919.
This thesis questions the possibilities of questioning the statutory power relations between the genders among the first women who manage to gain access to command positions in the Argentine Federal Police. Said question is inscribed in the conformation and possibilities of transformation of significant relations of power in the sexual division of labor of patriarchal societies as a substantive problem. The research examines the process of feminization of police institutions under the hypothesis that the mere increase in the number of women does not solve their access to command positions in a unidirectional way, as long as there are practices and institutional arrangements that favor the reproduction of bonds of subordination by gender reasons, which is why it is proposed to characterize it as an incomplete change process.
The selected methodological approach proposes a double focus of empirical attention as it combines the analysis of official documents and the structural conditions of development of women's careers in articulation with the paradigm of biographical studies, more specifically the analysis of their professional trajectories. The normative dimension of the relationship between genders is examined through the documentary study of secondary sources (official reports, institutional publications and normative plexuses) and the organizational dimensión through the quantitative analysis of secondary sources, reworked, of the structure of ranks, positions and qualifications of the members of the officer corps that allows us to understand the structure of objective opportunities that, over time, condition the subjective dispositions
and capacities of the interviewees, analyzed in the qualitative instance in which the biographical interview technique is applied.
Regarding the contributions of this research and unlike most studies on the feminization of security forces that tend to highlight the existing obstacles to the development of careers in conditions of inequality of opportunities, this research aims to contribute to the field of knowledge by examining those experiences of women who did manage to access hierarchical positions in the officer corps of the Federal Police, allowing us to understand the processes of adaptation, negotiation and dispute developed in contexts of horizontal and vertical gender segregation. On the other hand, it is expected to contribute to the visibility and consolidation of the empirical knowledge of the problem by producing and analyzing a body of structural information on access to hierarchical positions and educational levels achieved. Finally, it is intended to contribute to the construction of theoretical dialogues between the sociology of work and studies on security forces, increasing the possibility of contrasting, comparing and enriching the understanding of the forms of labor segregation and the exercise of power relations in the workplace in the context of dynamics that exceed and that in turn structure the functioning of these institutions. That is, if in some respects the police have distinctive characteristics, in other respects they are structured like other professional groups, and in particular, like other state bodies.
