| description |
The narratives about demonic pacts are an important topic in the social life of ten-string guitar players (violeiros) in North and Northwest of Minas Gerais. On the one hand, they present, step by step, the rules of how to achieve the pacts, pointing the places, the moments and the objects best suited for their execution. Like true “recipes”, the reports keep all the knowledge concerning contacts with the devil. On the other hand, the narratives also highlight the supposedly factual nature of the events. For all intents and purposes, the stories are about cases that happened to someone, in a particular place and time. These reports are events which are responsible for engendering a particular battleground where ten-string guitar players (violeiros) and their allies face each other when dealing with reputations. I want to argue that the notion of “doubt” is central in these conflicts around the “fame” of a player. In the reports, the veracity of that account is central, measured not only by its substantive content but also - and above all - the person speaking or the person of spoken to. |

Las narraciones sobre pactos demoníacos son temas importantes en la vida social de los violeiros del norte y noroeste de Minas Gerais. Por un lado, presentan paso a paso las reglas para la consecución de los pactos, señalando los lugares, momentos y objetos más adecuados para su ejecución. Verdaderas "recetas", los informes guardan todo el conocimiento relativo a los contactos con el diablo. Por otro lado, las narraciones también destacan el carácter supuestamente fáctico de los hechos. A todos los efectos, las historias trataban de casos que ocurrían con alguien en un lugar y tiempo específicos. Las historias son eventos responsables de engendrar un campo específico de disputas donde los violadores y sus aliados se enfrentan entre sí en torno a su reputación. Quiero argumentar que en estos enfrentamientos por la "fama" de un jugador, la noción de "duda" es central. No se trata de cuestionar la existencia o no del diablo. En las cuentas, lo que está en juego es la veracidad de lo que se dice, medido no sólo por su El contenido es sustantivo, pero también -y sobre todo- de la persona que habla o de la que se habla.

Verdadeiras “receitas”, os relatos guardam todos os saberes relativos aos contatos com o diabo. Por outro lado, as narrativas também destacam o caráter supostamente factual dos eventos. Para todos os efeitos, as histórias tratariam de casos ocorridos com alguém, num lugar e numa época específica. Os relatos são eventos responsáveis por engendrar um campo de disputas específico onde os violeiros e seus aliados se enfrentam em torno de reputações. Quero argumentar que nesses embates em torno da “fama” de um tocador, a noção de “dúvida” é central. Não se trata de contestar a existência ou não do diabo. Nos relatos, o que está em questão é a veracidade do que se conta, medida não apenas pelo seu conteúdo substantivo mas também – e sobretudo - pela pessoa que fala ou de quem se fala.
