Sumario:Based on ethnographic research done on the period 2009-2015, this paper describes and analyzes smacking as a part of the care practices mothers in everyday life. Considering motherhood as a social, cultural, economic and subjective phenomenon, in this text, I analyze the intertwining between care, corporal punishment and violence. Specifically, I address the relationship between mothering in women living in slums and poor neighborhood. The two areas that make up the analysis are: a) the boundaries between acceptable and punishable smacking; b) the relationship with state bureaucracies, its limits and logics.
