| Sumario: | A set of sources concerning the police and the Society of Jesus allows us to confirm that the narrative in history follows the way they were organized. In the case of the police, there is an immediate connection between knowledge and volume of the sources. The vast number of documents in the AGN in the 1820s is due to the penetration of a new knowledge in order to create a state. The return to a local government from 1829, meanwhile, shows a judicial culture that still remained in the framework of a world without State. The Jesuit documents, in turn, generated to control the activity of their members, ended up being successful in a different context, because they provided a detailed description of the rural world. However, the transfer of these documents from a Jesuit to a national rationality began the process of distortion of the source. The consistency on the origin of these documents allowed historians to create for decades new knowledge. |
