One of the central ideas of Pierre Clastres’s work is that in primitive societies violence plays the political role of conjuration of the State, becoming, in this sense, the foundation of its social ordination. The following article proposes an approximation of the author’s approach to the family matters, subject of ethnography in Pernambuco hinterland ten years ago. Inspired by Clastres and reconfiguring the terms of his opposition between societies with State and societies against the State, this paper aims to elucidate the simultaneity of both multiple and antithetical principles of social ordination not only in primitive societies, but also in the complexes ones.Downloads
