This paper is focused on the investigation developed for my Master’s thesis in Criminology, about the characteristics of criminal modern knowledge in Argentina, during the period of its emergence. Some of the relevant aspects of this process are analyzed and identified here: the use of the idea of “criminal science” by the authors, as a tool for the construction of new professional field; and the characteristics of the processes of cultural ideas coming from Europe importation. For that purpose, the doctoral thesis in criminal matters of the Department of Jurisprudence of the University of Buenos Aires between 1927-1860, are used as a relevant material. These texts are analyzed within the theoretical frame of the “modern penal rationality”, by Alvaro Pires, in order to work the first aspect; and the categories developed by Máximo Sozzo in different works to analyze the translation processes of penal ideas, in relation to the second one.

Keywords : Modern penal rationality; emergence; Argentina; criminal science; translation; cultural ideas importation.
