The violence of others: histories, aggression and alterity in the sociability of a plantation in Northeastern Brazil
This article is based on field work carried out in the lands that in the past belonged to an old cattle and cotton producing plantation located in the south of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.

| description |
This article is based on field work carried out in the lands that in the past belonged to an old cattle and cotton producing plantation located in the south of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. I will consider aggressions as constitutive of social relationships and I will explore the mechanisms through which they are defined as external to the sociability of the plantation. To do that, I will focus on the narratives of one of the former owners and his family and I will observe two ways in which aggressions are marginalized from the social dynamic. In both cases they are assigned to an alterity. The attempt to expel aggressions constitutes the other as a carrier of violence. This is identified with the “outsider”, who “invades” the property, and with the one who occupies less hierarchical positions than the owner. In this way, I observe a close relationship between aggression and otherness, which is constructed together with the delimitation of violence. |

En este artículo me baso en un trabajo de campo realizado en las tierras que en un pasado pertenecieron a un antiguo latifundio productor de ganado y algodón localizado al sur de Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil. Parto de considerar las agresiones como constitutivas de las relaciones sociales e indago los mecanismos por medio de los cuales las mismas son delimitadas como extraordinarias a la sociabilidad del latifundio. Para eso me centro en los relatos de uno de los antiguos propietarios de esas tierras y de su familia y observo dos formas por medio de las cuales las agresiones son marginalizadas de la dinámica social. En ambos casos son asignadas a una alteridad. El intento de expulsión de las agresiones constituye al otro portador de violencia. Este se identifica con el “de afuera”, que “invade” la propiedad, y con aquel que ocupa posiciones menos jerárquicas que el propietario. De este modo, observo una relación estrecha entre agresión y otredad, la cual se construye junto con la delimitación de la violencia.

Começo considerando as agressões como constitutivas das relações sociais e investigo os mecanismos pelos quais elas são delimitadas como extraordinárias para a sociabilidade do latifúndio. Para tanto, concentro-me nos relatos de um dos ex-proprietários de terras e de sua família e observo duas maneiras pelas quais as agressões são marginalizadas da dinâmica social. Em ambos os casos, elas são atribuídas a uma alteridade. A tentativa de expulsar as agressões constitui o outro como o portador da violência. Este é identificado com o “forasteiro”, que “invade” a propriedade, e com aquele que ocupa posições menos hierárquicas que o proprietário. Dessa forma, observo uma estreita relação entre agressão e alteridade, que é construída juntamente com a delimitação da violência. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
