This article attempts to analyze the social struggles against violence in contemporary Brazilian society from the perspective of comprehending the social conflicts as creators of new sociabilities. To explain this new social issue, the author uses the notion of a microphysics of violence. This text points to the social conflicts as creators of sociability’s dynamisms, contributing to the construction of democracy in contemporary Brazil. An interrelation has occurred between collective actions to defend human rights and social struggles to access the democratic entitlements. Against the device of violence, the observed lines of fracture would enable a passage to other social devices. The social struggle against violence therefore seems to be a way of reducing the social violence in Brazilian society. Keywords: violence; social struggle; modernity; democracyDownloads
