This meeting against gambling provides grounds for an inquiry regarding the role the media plays in the organization of such events, which start as morality issues and provide evidence that not all initiatives that begin in the heart of the public opinion are meant to conquer a wider set of rights. Parliamentary discussions that arose from this meeting are also interesting since –after long months– they lead to the sanction, in 1902, of the Gambling Repression Law , which makes the raiding of private homes by police forces legal. El 29 de septiembre de 1901 se realizó, en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, un meeting contra el juego concurriendo a la Plaza de Mayo unas 5.000 personas que solicitaron del Presidente de la República la represión de los juegos de azar en el ámbito urbano. El meeting contra el juego permite indagar el lugar ocupado por la prensa en la organización de una movilización de estas características, cuyo eje de protesta encuentra sus fundamentos en el terreno moral y pone en evidencia que no todas las iniciativas nacidas en el seno de la opinión pública van en el sentido de la ampliación de derechos. Las discusiones parlamentarias que esta movilización proyecta también resultan de interés en la medida en que derivan, en 1902, en la sanción de la ley de Represión del juego que volverá legal el allanamiento de domicilio privado. Em 29 de Setembro de 1901 realizou-se na cidade de Buenos Aires um meeting contra o jogo, participando 5.000 pessoas na Plaza de Mayo que solicitaram ao Presidente da República a repressão dos jogos de azar nas áreas urbanas. O meeting contra o jogo permite examinar o lugar da imprensa na organização de uma mobilização destas características, cujo eixo de protesto encontra seus fundamentos no território moral e evidencia que nem todas as iniciativas surgidas na opinião pública refletem a ampliação de direitos. Os debates parlamentários que esta mobilização suscitou também interessam porque –depois de varios meses– derivam, em 1902, na sanção de uma Lei de repressão ao jogo que tornará legal a invasão policial de domicílio particular. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/1433 10.34096/cas.i32.1433 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/1433/1374 Cuadernos de antropología social; Núm. 32 (2010): Investigaciones en antropología política y jurídica; 169-194 1850-275X 0327-3776 Gambling Public Sphere Police Legal Home Search Repressive Laws Jogo Esfera Pública Polícia Invasão do domicílio Leis Repressivas Juego esfera pública policía allanamiento leyes represivas Public Sphere and Gambling: from the meeting against Gambling to Legal Home Search.
