CAMBIO DE HÁBITO.

This article proposes approaching the singularity of nuns' careers during the military dictatorship of Argentina. The author posits that the double condition of being women and being nuns gave such women a comparative advantage in the face of state repression. The author reconstructs a typical course of action based on a meaningful selection of interviews and life histories of nuns from different congregations in order to analyze their repertories of strategies in different contexts of state repression. To conclude, the author exposes four types of strategies that combine visibility and agency and that enabled nuns to avoid situations of state repression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
