ABSTRACT For Brazil’s ‘violence worker’ street-level bureaucrats, violence is woven into everyday practice. But violent influence flows in multiple directions; from the state to society, within the state and its agencies, from violent actors upon state bureaucrats. Real and potential violence defines the bureaucratic regime of truth, alongside the influence of a self-defined organised crime group. Using ethnographic evidence, I show some of the fissures that are wedged open through violence, and demonstrate the ways that violent uncertainty shapes a need for leverage and spheres of trust. This shows the dissonance between bureaucratic form and bureaucratic rationale, where other violence workers – ontological bureaucrats – have become an everyday part of bureaucratic rationale. What matters is not the relationship between the state and bureaucracy, but the relationship between sovereign power and bureaucracy.

巴西的暴力，官僚主义和宗派主义

摘要对于巴西的“暴力工作者”街头官僚而言，暴力行为已融入日常工作中。但是暴力的影响却是向多个方向流动的。从国家到社会，在国家及其机构内部，从暴力行为者到国家官僚。真实的和潜在的暴力行为定义了官僚主义的真实政权，并伴随着一个自定义的有组织犯罪集团的影响。我使用人种学的证据，展示了一些因暴力而被割裂的裂痕，并说明了暴力不确定性如何影响对杠杆作用和信任范围的需求。这表明官僚形式与官僚主义原理之间的矛盾，其他暴力工作者（本体论官僚）已成为官僚主义理论的日常组成部分。重要的不是国家与官僚机构之间​​的关系，
