Ou, nos termos de Viveiros de Castro (2002b), o inimigo tornava-se imanente ao matador, o que supõe que este estivesse submetido a um processo de transformação radical, que deveria ser controlado sob o risco de se tornar irreversível, ou seja, o matador poderia voltar-se contra os seus, fazendo irromper a desordem no espaço social.…”
