In this article, I focus on an analysis of the nine serialized gaucho novels written by Eduardo Gutiérrez (1851-1889). I track examples of physical torture inflicted upon the gauchos at the hands of the authorities, and the subsequent incarceration that will transform them from a "gaucho outlaw" into a docile body. The main hypothesis of this study is that the ideological conversion of these outlaws was reached through the modernization of the punitive discourse used to punish them. In the beginning, corporal punishment was used as punishment and was later replaced by imprisonment, which imposed a form of mind control over them. I argue that the narratives of the nine novels weave a pedagogical discourse that assumes that outlaw gauchos are redeemable criminals who can become productive citizens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
