What happened when police forces in Latin America learned to write?

这个项目想要阐明当拉丁美洲的警察在现代开始学习如何书写时发生了什么。根据文献记载，19世纪末，警察获取经文是现代国家建设的重要组成部分。然而，有迹象表明，当警察开始在工作中写作时，他们将圣经用于其他目的，而不是预期的官方警察文化。我们希望进一步推动这一进程。因此，我们对写作不感兴趣，而是把它作为一种文化或象征性的实践。我们想找出警察写的是什么以及是如何写的。因为在他们的经文实践中，警察机构，通过这个机构，国家及其秩序被重新解释，并由警察代表。因此，我们并不是在践行另一部警史。此外，我们希望对拉丁美洲现代国家建设的分析做出贡献，并希望对这一过程的混合体有更多的见解。

This project wants to shed light on what happened when policemen in Latin America learned how to write at the beginning of the modern age. According to literature, late 19th century scripture acquisition by the police is a crucial part of modern state building. However, there are indications of policemen using scripture for other purposes than the intended official police culture when they were starting to write on the job. We want to pursue this further. Thus, we are not interested in writing as an expression about something but rather as a cultural or symbolic practice. We want to find out what and how policemen were writing. For within their scripture practices the police institution and via this the institution the state and its order were reinterpreted and represented by the police. Therefore, we are not practicing yet another history of the police. Moreover, we want to contribute to the analyses of modern state building in Latin America and hope for more insights into the hybrids of this process.
