| Abstract | espanolEste articulo analiza varios tipos de violencia que asolaron al distrito de Coalcoman, Michoacan, ca. 1940-1980, originados en motivos agrarios, diversas formas de delincuencia, siembra de enervantes (violencia instrumental), pistolerismo y vendettas (violencia ritual). Se argumenta que si bien el Estado se esforzo por eliminar a todas ellas, hallo mayores dificultades para combatir el pistolerismo y las vendettas. Ello fue asi porque la violencia ritual esta mas arraigada en el habitus de las personas y requeria no solo del desarme de la poblacion (medida a la que mas se aposto) sino tambien de una vigorosa campana para reformular el habitus y civilizar las pasiones, tarea que un Estado con fuertes debilidades infraestructurales se mostraba incapaz de asumir. Para dar cuenta de lo anterior, el articulo se apoya ante todo en fuentes de primera mano, y en una conceptualizacion acotada de la violencia, que distingue entre violencia instrumental y violencia ritual. EnglishThis article analyzes several types of violence that devastated the District of Coalcoman, Michoacan, ca. 1940-1980, as a result of agrarian issues, various forms of delinquency, the planting of drugs (instrumental violence), pistolerismo (hiring thugs to deal with syndicalists) and vendettas (ritual violence). It is argued that, although the state strove to eliminate all of them, it found it hardest to combat pistolerismo and vendettas. This was so because ritual violence is more deeply rooted in people’s habitus and required not only disarming the population (the measure that was most often chosen) but also a vigorous campaign to reformulate the habitus and civilize passions, a task that a state with acute infrastructural weaknesses was unable to assume. In order to describe the above, the article relies primarily on first-hand sources, and a limited conceptualization of violence, which distinguishes between instrumental and ritual violence. |
