This paper focuses on the implementation of workfare in the US, with the aim of understanding the passive response of the unions and other progressive groups to the restructuring and retrenchment of the American welfare system. In particular, it considers the disparate efforts to organise welfare recipients and low-wage workers around the restructuring of social benefits towards work in the District of Columbia. Although the convergence of welfare recipients and low-wage workers through 'work-first' initiatives has the potential to spur political mobilisation and protest against the reform of welfare, it is found that at the local level campaigns against workfare are diverse and changeable, producing very little – it could be argued – in terms of long-term resistance. Identifying forms of dissidence in Washington D.C. as constitutive of the broader liberal regime of governance and re-regulation, this paper probes the forms, possibilities and problems of organising workfare subjects. This allows for consideration of the extent to which workfare programmes are being re-inscribed within emerging patterns of political-economic development and the potential for future action.

Este ensayo de cultura jurídica utiliza elementos de historia conceptual para analizar la mutación funcional de la Alcaldía de Barrio de Buenos Aires en el período comprendido entre 1770-1820. Partiendo de una crítica al anacronismo de la narrativa policial, se busca, desde una mirada jurisdiccional que servía como modelo de actuación de esa particular institución –la Alcaldía de Barrio–, obturar una mirada estatista que ve en dicha figura una "policía de seguridad". Con dicho fin, y para advertir los principios que guiaban la praxis jurisdiccional de dicha institución, se utilizan de dos conceptos claves: quietud y seguridad pública. Todo ello, tomando en consideración el momento crítico entre las lógicas que gobernaban el ejercicio de un control social, el cual se hallaba tensado entre la justicia a la policía. ; This essay of juridical culture, by using elements of conceptual history, intends to analyze the functional changes of the Alcaldía de Barrio of Buenos Aires, in the period of 1770-1820. Taking as a starting point the anachronism made by the police historiography, which tends to present that institution –the Alcaldía de Barrio – as if it was a "security police" under the paradigm of the State, the article attempts to show the jurisdictional logic that organized the praxis of that political institution. In order to accomplish that, two concepts become essential –Quietness and public security–, and that is because they synthesized different principles which guided the praxis of the officials that proceeded as Alcaldes de Barrio, in a period in which the justice and the police were in constant conflict. ; Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación
