| Sumario: | This paper studies some methodological aspects related to the potential and limitations of judicial sources to analyze interpersonal conflicts, focusing attention on those in which the honor of some of those involved was at stake. The work of archiving rested on the analysis of the causes for insults and on the survey of the files for injuries and homicides. The main challenges refer to the representativeness of this form of response to the grievance and the mediations that affect the expressions and the register of orality and the practices of the protagonists. However, despite these limitations, they offer an irreplaceable wealth to reflect on the polysemy of honor; the logics and dynamics that characterize these clashes; the verbal and gestural language that distinguishes them; the knowledge and strategies that illuminate the legal cultures of those involved, and the problem of the social uses of justice and violence. |
