| Summary: | This article analyze the practices and meanings of women that sold sex in Buenos Aires Province, as well as, study the political interventions on sexual market(s) between 1936 and 1984. For that objective, the author constructed a database with which he systematized the documents of women detained in the jail of “El buen pastor” and trial records of the south and center of the province. The text has two main arguments, first, that police agents actualize a punitive version of the abolitionism inscripted in the moral violence institutionalized as a parameter of order, second, that the experiences, senses and practices of analyzed women problematized binaries socio-historic categories such as sexual work and slavery to present a heterogeneous scenario of sex sale.
