Abstract: According to Foucalt, at the end of the XVIII century, there is a change in the poer of judgement due to the reformsmof criminal codes, that will led to the emergence of modern "soul". As a result of this period it would be necessary to find out new social control mechanisms to leave behind the criminal forms in which they were involved. The Degeneration Theory by August B. Morel (1857) and, specially, the Criminal Antrophology by Cesare Lombroso (1875), will directly influence on the creation of these mechanisms. This influence will be reflected in most of the psico-sociological approaches to the "degeneration" at the end of the XIX century. This is an essential period due to the strong political, economic and social convulsions that shake up all Europe. A period characterized by the crisis of the state-nation and the consequences that te Second Industrial Revolution will entail in different levels. The previously specified concern for the control of the deflections from the social norm (where the outstandings speeches will be those about social morbidity and criminal phenomena) will be joined the concern for the (re)construction of the national project. This social control will be made from different disciplines. Each discipline will have its own speeches of legitimation and their own intervention technologies and tools. The aim of this essay is to explain which were the psico-sociological speeches used in the Hispano-Ameican phantom for the analysis of finisecular sociocultural problems, and which were the strategies to cope with the "degeneration" both at national and social level.
