| Sumario: | In 1887, the City of Buenos Aires Police published the Galería de Ladrones de la Capital, an institutional document that compiles almost two hundred photographic portraits of suspects, thieves and repeat offenders, so that they could be recognized and monitored by police officers. Each of these photographs is accompanied by a series of personal data and detailed descriptions of the body of the subjects portrayed. The ‘color of skin’ and the categories to classify the features of the face, converge in a particular type of racial classification. The proposal of this work is to analyze how the image in articulation with the racial categories of the publication, supported and constructed racialized representations. For this I will inquire the police gaze that was built based on the delimitation of racial profiles. |
