Abstract

This paper aims at analysing the relations between violence and gender in the society of Alto Jurud rubber estates, in Acre/ Brazil. Violence was present in almost all levels of social relations of this society. Physical violence was a characteristic of authority and social control and also resistance and revolt: it assumes the role of a language used between the owners of rubber estates and rubber tappers; owners and itinerant river traders; men and women; adults and children and horizontally too. On the other hand, the state, that was installed in Alto Juruá since 1904, claimed for violence monopoly, especialy by policial and judicial actions. The analysis of judicial processes
indicate that, in most cases wich became processes, violence and gender roles are related, since gender relations are power relations and, in accordance with Hannah Arendt, violence is connected with advantage to power.
