This article proposes a movement between two sorts of dependency in the secretive bonds of violent men. The first forges an interdependent set of relations between mafia men, independent of the state; the second arises as a dependency of these former mafiosi on the state in order to break the interdependencies that formerly made them as mafia men. In this ethnographic and oral history narrative, we first witness a dyadic, homosocial relation between two violent men that forges a masculinised interdependence binding the protagonists of this story together as they share a secret. We then encounter the break‐up of this interdependency amid local moral outrage over betrayal and violence, and its substitution by a strong dependence on the state. Through a microsociology that delves into a history of relations, the article thus shows how the subjects of this story shift from one set of dependencies to another. The essay critically revisits discussions of dependency, especially on the state, underscoring the missing element of dependency in the making and breaking of bonds in a secretive male brotherhood.

黑手党的两种依赖：对成年男子和不成年男子的依赖

本文提出了在暴力男人的秘密纽带中两种依赖之间的运动。第一个在黑手党男人之间建立了一套相互依存的关系，独立于国家。第二种是这些前黑手党的依赖为了打破以前使他们成为黑手党男人的相互依存关系。在这个民族志和口述历史的叙述中，我们首先见证了两个暴力人物之间的二元同社会关系，这种关系形成了男性化的相互依存关系，使这个故事的主角们共享了一个秘密。然后，我们在当地对背叛和暴力的道义愤怒中遭到了这种相互依赖的破坏，并被对国家的强烈依赖所取代。通过深入研究关系史的微观社会学，这篇文章因此展示了这个故事的主题是如何从一组依赖关系转变为另一组依赖关系的。这篇文章批判性地重新审视了关于依赖性的讨论，特别是关于国家的讨论，着重强调了在一个秘密的男性兄弟会中，建立和打破纽带时缺少依赖性的要素。
