          Abstract

          La comprensión del proceso de profesionalización del conocimiento experto en el campo de los Derechos Humanos en la Argentina es el eje de este artículo. La institucionalización de la causa por los derechos humanos involucra, tanto la reconfiguración del propio campo profesional del derecho, como una transformación de la propia causa militante en una cuestión vinculada a un saber especializado que requiere cada vez más de la adquisición de competencias profesionales. Este artículo se interroga sobre el lugar de la formación y de los recursos escolares en la adquisición de nuevas credenciales que habilitan a participar de este universo a través del estudio de las transformaciones ocurrida a lo largo de dos generaciones de activistas y profesionales del derecho. El eje de este trabajo será colocado en las transformaciones en el perfil de estos activistas a través de un recorrido por el proceso que va de los primeros abogados que se iniciaron a la política y a la profesión en la defensa de presos políticos de la izquierda revolucionaria durante los anios 1960 y 1970 hasta la actual generación que ingresa a la política y a la profesión ya en democracia (1983) y que funda su legitimidad en el hecho de estar dotados de diplomas en derecho internacional de los derechos humanos y en la pertenencia simultánea al espacio académico, burocrático y del activismo transnacional.

          Translated abstract

          This article aims at understanding the process of professionalization of expert knowledge in the Human Rights' field in Argentina. The institutionalization of the Human Rights cause involves both a change in the professional law field and the transformation of the militant cause into a question of specialized knowledge that increasingly requires more technical expertise. Throughout the study of the deep transformation that took place during two generations of law activists and professionals, this article discusses the place of education and expert knowledge in the acquisition of new credentials that qualify individuals to participate in this universe. This paper looks into changes in these activists' profile through time, in lawyers profiles' reconversion, a process that involves from the earliest lawyers that joined politics and started their carrers as political prisoners 'defenders belonging to revolutionary groups during the 60s and 70s to the new generation of activists who started their careers and joined politics after democracy (1983) and who have based their legitimacy on academic degrees in international law and their simultaneously belonging to the academic and bureocratic scenes, as well as transnational activism.
