Sumario:The paper aims to trace, reconstruct and analyze the files of the Intelligence Services regarding the production of Latin-American social sciences in the period 1976-1983. The object “Latin America” is to the services of intelligence a priori associated with and connoting “communist”, “revolutionary” or “subversive”. All the above led to an exhaustive work of exegesis and research on the production of Latin-American Social Sciences describing a double process: introducing professionalism in politics and political radicalization. The documents found in the Archive of the former Direction of Intelligence of the Police of the Province of Buenos Aires [DIPBA] - (containing reports of other services of intelligence) allow to infer the importance and the degree of “danger” that the dictatorships attributed to this production. This research will analyze reports issued by Intelligence Offices on popular music, essays and, particularly, classic works produced by Latin American Social Sciences.
