Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Language and Violence

Abstract

In the city of São Paulo the “world of crime” has grown and become just another organizing category of social life. The purpose of this chapter is to understand the meanings of violence in this new context. Using ethnographical studies that were carried out in a public sphere in which police officers, residents and representatives of local institutions talk about insecurity and the “perpetrators” of violence, this article discusses the speech acts and the silences that emerge from these meetings. The study highlights that not only order but also conflict are present when we talk about violence.
